ASV goes to Elite

We made it, yes, WE MADE IT.
This team has been builted to move up to Elitedivision, and we did it.
It has not always been easy, too may times we were short of people, specially in practises (me first, I could not practise more than twice a week due to uncompatible working and training schedules), few times we had a bad game´s approach and it ended in losses (not too many....but enough).

We can celebrate one week earlier thanks to favourable results from the other games: Lyngby (who was in 2nd place) and PVC Lyngby (who was in 3rd place) both lost this week-end.
We needed just one victory in the last 2 games, and we got it at the first attempt.
This time has been Frederiksberg which gave us 2 points, but it has not been absolutly easy.

The first 2 sets went very well and too easy, we did the break when me and Henrik were serving and it says a lot about my pussy-jump-flot-serve´s afficiency: we won 25-17 and 25-12, the 3rd was on our way but a bad 2nd ref call made us nervous and we lost 5-6 points in a row.

We put things back togheter and we tied at 18-18, but we stopped playing there, we really did: we lost 25-19.
The fourth has been so full of passion, I guess we were feeling the pressure, or the so-call "Fear of winning".

The set has been tied till the 20s, but we got huge digs, effective blocks and wonderful transitions balls and on 24-20 Diego goes to serve.
He has the ball of the season in his hands, he asked the coach if he can jump serve, and the coach sadly answered NO!!!

But I was there, when could it happen again to have a Season-ball in my hands?
I took my responsabilities and I jumped serve!!!

UGLY serve, in the middle of the net!! It has been egoistic but I did because I was sure, in case of a serve´s mistake, we could have had 3 side-out to take the point we needed to end the season and to start celebrating.

We have one more game and we want to finish with 16 points, but already under the showers started the "Magic-volley Starting 6" for the next game: I left the room when the coach suggested to play with double setters, which would have been me and Niels. The ones who has the clearest set though, jehejhjehe

So, next saturday it would be an funny game and we can keep celebrating with all the others ASV´s team at "End of the season" party later that evening!!!
