Belgrano Volley - News

Despite a spirited and gutsy effort, Belgrano Volley succumbed to defeat to DirectTV Bolivar, the best team in the league. It was tagged as a mouthwatering clash since the two teams were fighting for the top spots but Bolivar came on out top. But if anything stood out apart from the match was the tremendous support of the Belgrano fans. Not contempt with filling every football stadium, the fans are now packing every volley ground. The fans stuffed the Polideportivo Carlos Ceruttti and it was highlighted by the sport press as Diario Ole quoted: "The Belgrano support is the best thing in the league". Bolivar remained atop and Belgrano fell to third place, a really good position since it is the first year Belgrano participates in the league. Belgrano's most important player was again Alex Moreno who has 216 spikes in only 8 matches!

We had a wonderful 2006 with the team winning promotion, the wins against Talleres, our biggest rivals, and looking settled in top-flight football. Good news kept coming as the chairman was delighted to announce the Belgrano was to enter the Voleyball League. Voleyball is growing in popularity in Argentina and week after week the teams are drawing more and more people. The Club Atletico Belgrano will replace the financially-challenged Alianza Jesus Maria as the only participating team from Cordoba in the prestigious League. Belgrano has taken over the players of Alianza JM and will play at a nearby arena. The league is very competitive and although Belgrano may find it hard to settle, the task will be made easier by the strong and loyal support of our football- and voleyball-mad supporters. These are very encouraging news showing once more the ambitious plans of the current management. The team makes its debut next Saturday 06/01 against Rosario Sonder.
