25 June 5719



Last year's runner-up team, the Ambagašan Buthasi has shocked the thousands of volleyball sport enthusiasts in Bianjie, after it won the nation's National Volleyball League (NVL) on Thursday night, performing a stunning comeback in one of the most dramatic finals in the competition's recent history.

Playing in front of 5,200 fans in Caiboo, the Fishermen came from behind to overcome the current Khan's Volleyball Cup (KVC) champions, Namušun Buka, or the Rams, in a 3-2 match (19-25, 22-25, 28-26, 25-22, 15-11), coming from behind in hard first two sets going to the southern coast opponents, achieving the historic victory in the league for the first time in 24 years.

The Fishermen, coming extremely close to the title in the last year's season, have overturned a difficult start this year after a series of disappointing defeats to the league's both higher and lower rank teams. However, as the season went by, Buthasi went from a series of losses to the series of undefeated victories, quickly climbing up top, trailing behind the Dorgi Gemun by 4 points, thus entering playoffs, where the Fishermen defeated the 7th and 3rd teams, Caiboo's Giants and Guihecen's KSJ, while the reigning champions, Dorgi Gemun, have lost to the Namušun Buka in a big upset during the semfinals.

The first two sets of the finals between Buthasi and Buka began with a momentum on the southerners' side, as the Rams kept aggressive and well-organised domination over their opponents, however, following two disappointing set losses, something has shifted, as the Fishermen 'locked in', and stopped doing mistakes or falling for traps set by the Buka. The reorganised Buthasi team fought their opponents into the tiebreak after winning the next two seats. And with the 15-11 score on the tiebreak, and the final whistle signalling the end of the hardfought game, Buthasi have been proclaimed the nation's champions for the first time in 24 years.
