Tuesday at 4 pm, the beach started to fill up with spectators for the much awaited volleyball showdown part 2 between the Coco Mangyans versus the Danish Dynamites.

In our previous issue of the Coco Weekend News the Danish Dynamites lost to the Coco Mangyans and demanded for a re-match to which the Mangyans gamely agreed.

Before the final showdown, both teams practiced and had some changes in their line-up of players. The Coco Mangyans formed an all-Filipino team made up of players RJ (activity), Jun-jun (flat boat operator), Efren (room boy), Phol (bartender), Marlo (beach boy) and Abet (waiter). Luca who was with the Mangyan team in the first game opted to play with his fellow countrymen for this showdown.

The spectators started to cheer for their teams as the match began. The game was played even more tightly than in the previous game as each player gave his very best to make their teams win and with this kind of game, it was but natural for some friendly teasing and ribbing from each team.

The first set was dominated by the Mangyans (15-11). The Danish bounced back on the second set and they got it so easy (15-8). The 3rd and final set proved to be the most exciting as the battling teams ended up with deuces three times. But in the end, the Coco Mangyans successfully defended their title as champions with a perfect record of 9 wins-0 losses.

Better luck next time Vikings, the Mangyans are tougher and still the reigning champions!
