Chief of Naval Staff (CNS) Spikers of Abuja and Nigeria Correctional Service both continued to dominate the 2023 National Division 1 Volleyball League following their second consecutive victories on Wednesday at the Outdoor Court, Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri.
CNS Spikers who on Tuesday defeated Kwara United 3-0 in their opening game were victorious again a day later thumping UCEM Spikers 3-0 (25-15, 25-19, 25-17) for their second win.
In similar vein, Nigeria Correctional Service outwitted Kwara United 3-0 ((25-21, 25-20, 25-21) for their second win in a Division 1 tie as well having conquered G- Ranks 3-1 on Tuesday evening. Kwara United have now lost both games played thus far and they risk demotion to Division 2 if they do not make any headways in their remaining games.
In Division 2, the battle is getting more intensed with the league at halfway stage already.
