Volleyball: Edinburgh bidding for glory

EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY take their volleyball squad south this weekend in a bid for glory at the men’s British ­Universities’ Final 8s at Leeds Metropolitan.

The Scottish student champions, coached by City of Edinburgh setter Graeme Spowart, booked their place in the finals with a straight-sets win over Durham at the Pleasance last month.

Edinburgh face Cambridge and Exeter tomorrow and round off their group with a match against Northumbria on Sunday.

The aim is a place in the top two and qualify for the final which will be held in Leeds next Wednesday.
