In the Volleyball Ladies section, Champions Paola Hibs Candy beat Flyers on their league debut.

Flyers, who have one of the best defence systems in the league played well against a Hibs that are superior on paper. In fact, it was Flyers that won the first set 25-21. This loss shocked Hibs and managed to get back on their feet when they won the second set 25-17. Flyers coaches Steve Farrugia and Carmel Gauci opted to play with a double setter rotation with Claudette Mifsud and Lindsey Cordina acting as their setters and this helped them win the third set 25-18.

Under 18 player Anna Grech powered a number of services through the Paolites defence with success. Hibs were on the verge of losing their first league match in over three years but they increased their successful attacks through Alison Borg and Gertrude Zarb. The fourth set ended in their favour 25-19. In the final set, Hibs started with a strong attacking rotation with Carmen Gauci taking the centre position. This proved successful as they raced to a 8-4 lead thus giving them enough advantage to win the match 15-11.
