Island Sand Series
Kicks off SUMMMER
Sunday, June 21, 2009
The first official day of Summer got off to a windy
start on Sunday and ended with near perfect playing
conditions on the sand in Parksville. The Volleyball
BC Island Sand Series got underway with Campbell
River athletes taking home some prizes.
The Boys' "A" Flight final was a marathon 3 set
match with numerous late lead changes in the third.
The team of Martin Haaf and Nick Smith (2008 Team BC
indoor) finally prevailed 16-14.
The "Juvenile" girls final featured a pair of
Parksville athletes on home turf versus the team of
Mariah Holmstrom and Angela Richards (2008 Team BC
16U indoor teammates). Congratulation to the "North
& South Island" tandem (Campbell River and Mill Bay)
of Holmstrom & Richards on winning the first Sand
Series of the season.

The Sand Series schedule is set up across Vancouver
