Bankstown Sports Cedars
Volleyball Club Wins SVL
2008 edition.
For everyone who thought
this was the end of the
Sydney Cedars success, we
would just like to note that
we proved you wrong.
After a very busy and tough
year so far the Sydney
Cedars have again taken out
the most difficult Sydney
Volleyball League (SVL)
title as the Champions for
the last 12 years straight.
Sydney Cedars are currently
ranked number one in
Australia (by Spike
Magazine.) With lots of
player movement this year,
everyone thought it would be
the end of the Cedars reign
at SVL. But through the
hard work and ongoing
training by the players and
commitment by the trainers
and coaching staff with
their support and knowledge
to the team throughout the
year they have managed to
turn this around into one of
the most successful years
for the team. Losing only
one match against the second
most successful team in the
competition Westside, who
couldn't qualify for the
finals due to rules and
regulation breaches, Cedars
won every single other match
convincingly. A semi final
and final that were possibly
the hardest games all year
for the team, who pulled
away with 2 wins after a
very hard fight against UTS
and UNSW.
Throughout the past 12 years
there have been players lost
and players gained but the
Cedars have maintained their
ongoing success through the
hard work and training
conducted by Andrew Simos
and Edi Vukosa, coaching by
Joe Haddad and captained by
Alex Jelicic
Thanks to the champions
Cedars players who have made
history by winning the SVL
12 years straight title were
no other club in Australia
has come close to what the
Cedars have achieved today
and in the past 12 years.
Special thanks goes out to
the Cedars supporters,
sponsors and media, also a
special thanks to
Bankstown Sports Club
for on going support to the
Cedars Volleyball Club for
many years. Well done to all
who were part of this
wonderful team.
