Long Description:
2025/2026 Season in progress….
2024/2025 Season
Last season was a huge and successful season for both our Men’s and Women’s Advanced teams.
Men’s
Our Men’s Team won the Irish Intervarsity tournament hosted by SETU Carlow, with many of our players earning titles to reward their huge efforts in leading the team to success: Peter McGlynn Wing of the Tournament, Zane Grossinger Setter of the Tournament, Walid Kanouni Middle of the Tournament, and Benedikt Licht with MVP of the Tournament
The men also had a great season in the Student Sport Ireland competitions, making it to the semi-finals in semester 1 and winning the Semester 2 League
Women’s
Our Women’s team also had a great Intervarsity campaign last season earning a spot as one of the top 5 teams fighting for the Cup!
In the Student Sport Ireland League the Women’s team made a huge effort, making it all the way to the Semi-Finals in both semesters, defeated both times by Trinity College, who would go on to win the Finals.
Development Teams
Last season saw us adding some new teams to our Club! Coached and led by Eoin Kinsella and Amy O'Sullivan the club now has two development teams. These new players got the chance to train together over the year with challenge matches against ATU Galway, ATU Sligo, and finally finished the season by putting their new skills to the test at Munster Cup, hosted by UCC Volleyball Club.
Social Events
The club isn’t always all about playing volleyball!
Start of semester volleyball quiz night!
