The Siem Reap Globe Eagles will face the Kompong Speu Global Giving Scorpions in the 2009 Cellcard National Volleyball League Grand Finals on 16 October.


After sensationally trouncing every team in the 2009 Cellcard National Volleyball League, Siem Reap Globe Eagles staked their nest at the top of the table with an amazing 9-0 match record while only losing 3 sets on their storming flight to the finals. Kompong Speu Global Giving Scorpions clinched second place having lost only two matches to Siem Reap and third place team Kompong Speu CTN Koupreys. The Scorpions, 2008’s 3rd place team, narrowly clinched their finals berth by just one set lost over the Koupreys who had also won 7 of their 9 games. The Scorpions came close to losing their slimmest of margins after dropping a set in a tight match against 6th place Takeo ISPP Templestowe Falcons but held on to ensure their finals spot with a comprehensive 3-0 thrashing of Prey Veng Kingmaker Cobras.

The Cellcard 2009 National Volleyball League 3rd Round served up some of the most competitive matches in the history of the league with Siem Reap Globe Eagles swooping into an unassailable position at the top of the table.

Sports fans at the Olympic Stadium were treated to an awesome display of skill and athleticism throughout the 3rd Round as the 5-set rule (in place since the end of the 1st Round) separated the men from the boys in terms of fitness, stamina and determination. Marathon volleys were punctuated by spectacular net work, seemingly impossible defensive manoeuvres and fiery spikes which had the crowd on their feet in loud appreciation. Four matches stretched into 5 set thrillers and the majority of sets were decided by only the very slimmest of points margins.
