The South Brisbane Wolves Premier Men’s team have done it again!
For the second consecutive year, the Wolves have secured the bronze medal at the Premier Volleyball League championship, showcasing their remarkable consistency and determination. After an incredible season of hard work, teamwork, and perseverance, the Wolves’ Premier Men’s team proved once again that they are among the best in the state.
In a thrilling match against the rising performance of Gold Coast Volleyball Club, the Wolves displayed their grit and growth to come out on top against some of the fiercest competition this season. Despite facing challenges throughout the season, including injuries and tough matches, the team’s commitment to each other and their goal was unwavering.
A standout performance from Isaiah Uele, the U18 Outside Hitter, played a huge role in the team’s success. Rising to the occasion, Isaiah stepped up throughout the season after Jonah Pearce, the team’s captain, was sidelined by an early season-ending injury. Isaiah’s leadership and incredible play were key factors in the team’s achievement.
Another key to the team’s success was the impact of international players Billy Greber and Tom Wheeler. Their skill, experience, and leadership helped elevate the Wolves to another level, contributing heavily to the team’s strong season and ultimately securing back-to-back bronze medals.
Coach Ross Symonds reflected on the achievement:
"Winning bronze for the second year in a row is a huge accomplishment for the team. The consistency they’ve shown over the past two seasons speaks to the strength of our program and the hard work these players have put in. This team is a testament to what can be achieved through dedication, teamwork, and a never-give-up attitude."
Captain Tommy Autufuga shared his excitement about the win:
"Back-to-back bronze feels amazing! It’s been a wild ride with injuries and all sorts of challenges, but we pulled through. Everyone stepped up, and it’s awesome to see the team come together like this. Couldn’t be prouder of the boys!"
The Wolves Premier Men’s team’s performance is a reflection of their strength, both individually and collectively, and their ability to rise to the occasion. Their impressive display of skill and heart has earned them the respect of the volleyball community, and this back-to-back bronze medal is a well-deserved recognition of their hard work and perseverance.
As the Wolves look ahead, they’re already setting their sights on the future, determined to continue their winning ways and take it to the next level next season.
