As the curtains came down over the weekend on the Guyana Volleyball Federation’s (GVF) Republic Bank/One Guyana ‘B’ Division competition, it was the Hururu Hydras and Mabaruma who stood tall, winning the male and female categories respectively.

The two victorious teams emerged from a total of 49 teams, both male and female, participating from across eight regions in Guyana. 

The knockout rounds involved eight female and eight male teams, inclusive of the eventual winners, who battled at the National Gymnasium, Mandela Avenue. The quarter finals was played on a round robin basis with two male and two female zones.
