For­mer na­tion­al in­door play­ers Ab­by Black­man of West Side Stars and Tech­nocrats' Sean Mor­ri­son turned back the clock in lead­ing their re­spec­tive clubs to vic­to­ries when the Na­tion­al Lot­ter­ies Con­trol Board (NL­CB)/ The Of­fice of the Prime Min­is­ter T&T Vol­ley­ball Fed­er­a­tion Su­per League “A” Di­vi­sion com­pe­ti­tion served off on Tues­day night.

De­spite the ab­sence of their mar­quee play­ers Deli­cia Pierre and Ma­li­ka David­son, Black­man led Stars to a 25-15, 25-19, 25-7 win over the op­po­si­tion which field­ed Aus­tralia-based se­nior na­tion­al women's net­ball stand­outs Saman­tha Wal­lace, and New Zealand-bound net­baller Daystar Swift.

A vis­i­bly tired Mor­ri­son led the match in at­tacks and de­fence and was well sup­port­ed through­out by new­ly ac­quired for­mer na­tion­al team-mates Rus­sell Pe­na and Joshua Mo­hammed.
