Report

East Coast Cruisers from Greystones in Co. Wicklow lived up to their name in the Volleyball association of Ireland Premier-32 Women League in 2001-02 winning all 14 games, dropping only 3 sets all year.

Northside finished second with 12 wins and 38 Points, four points behind the Wicklow side, but were no match in the deciding games between the two sides, although that was no reflection on the Dublin team as the East Coast Cruisers of the late 1990s and early 2000s were one of the best Women’s Volleyball teams of all-time in the VAI Leagues.
