WEEKEND VOLLEYBALL
 

With only 4 matches and the byes of SL Benfica and AJ Fonte Bastardo (first and second placed teams), this Saturday’s round of Men’s National Championship I Division, should be guided by tranquility…or should it? [Schedule and Results].

Team Castelo da Maia GC, currently 3rd in the standings with 19 points in 9 matches has an enormous opportunity to move closer the leader, as they host Leixões SC which stands in the last place without any point.
Equal opportunity for defending champions SC Espinho, currently 4th with 14 points in 7 matches, will visit team Esmoriz GC which this year has a record of 5 wins in 7 matches. This match will be live broadcasted by Sport TV.
For the remaining of the round, AA Espinho will host SC Caldas, while GC Vilacondense will pay a visit to CS Marítimo, in the Madeira Island. [Standings]

Women’s team of Leixões SC has a great test regarding their ambitions in the Women’s National Championship I Division as they will be hosting CF Belenenses/Blue, on Saturday, and Castelo da Maia GC on Sunday. If Leixões win both matches it will be able to stand alone at the top.
GDC Gueifães, one of the teams who share the first place with Leixões and Castelo, has an always complicated trip to Braga where they will face SC Braga, currently 6th in the standings.
Defending champions CD Ribeirense have also a complicated trip to the unpredictable Lusófona VC ground. [Schedule]
