“RTU Border Guard” / “Jūrmala” volleyball players on Saturday in Jūrmala revived the team of “Daugavpils University” / “Ezerzeme” (DU / “Ezerzeme”) for the loss suffered in the “Credit24” championship last weekend. A week ago in Daugavpils, the hosts beat the Jūrmala club in four sets a bit unexpectedly, but this time in their field “RTU Robežsardze” / ”Jūrmala” was superior with 3-0 (25:19, 25:22, 30:28).

Matiss Gabdullin scored 25 points for the home team, who scored five points in the block. 17 points and four blocks in the account of Alexander Avdeyev. Andris Širjakovs was the most productive with 12 points for Daugavpils residents, but Nazars Getmans and Deniss Pavlovs scored ten points each. On Saturday, the Latvian champions Jēkabpils “Lūši” will meet in their field with the “Parnu” unit led by Avo Kēl and represented by Tom Schwann.

Tallinn’s TalTech is a convincing leader in the tournament table with 24 points in eight games. Of the Latvian teams, RTU Robežsardze / Jūrmala is the fifth with eight points in nine fights, Jēkabpils “Lūšu” unit with seven points in six games, DU / “Ezerzeme” volleyball players give eight points in seven games, but “Biolars” / “Jelgava MSG” has remained in six duels and occupies the last position.

This season, nine teams are participating in the Credit24 Championship – four from Estonia (Tartu Bigbank, Parnu, Tallinn Selver and TalTech) and Latvia (Daugavpils University / Ezerzeme, RTU Border Guard). “Jūrmala”, Jēkabpils “Lūši” and “Biolars” / “Jelgava MSĢ”) and one Lithuanian unit – Klaipėda “Amber Volley”. Last year’s tournament was celebrated by Tallinn’s “Selver”, which beat Saaremaa in the final, and Jēkabpils “Lūši” won the third place.
