Pool and play-off results for the MVL Des Jeffers Women’s Tournament held on Sun 27th October 2024.
We are excited to announce that our volleyball team has undergone an exciting transformation! Formerly known as the Hoylake Hurricanes Men’s, we are now rebranded as the Wirral Phoenix.
While our name and logo have changed, we want to assure everyone that our fixtures remain the same. This rebranding symbolises our team’s ongoing passion and commitment to the sport, as we rise stronger together in the Merseyside Volleyball League.
We look forward to continuing our strong relationship with all the clubs and bringing the same energy and competitiveness to the court as always.
Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions. Here’s to an exciting new chapter as Wirral Phoenix!
This cup was presented to Brian Kendall in 2016 by Fairfield, and was subsequently supposed to be used as the Men’s Div 1 Winners Trophy.
However it seems to have gone missing!
If anyone knows where it is, can you please contact one of the committee members.
Some photos from the 2023-24 season winners presentation at the recent AGM.
Congratulations to all the winners!

With the National League competitions starting in the next few weeks I would like to offer the opportunity for some scoresheet training / refresher training.
This would enable anyone to be able to competently score a National League match, using the FIVB / National League scoresheet.
The official scoresheet can look daunting at first glance but, genuinely, with an hour’s training and support it will become crystal clear!
NVL teams should ensure that they have sufficient trained and competent scorers to be able undertake scorer duties for next season.
There have been times when a scorer has not turned up and someone is “press ganged” into doing it, making it stressful for them and challenging for the match officials.
This would an online session, either Teams or Zoom, probably a midweek evening.
Let me know who / how many people you may be interested in sending.
And it is FREE!!
Let me know ASAP and I can look to get it organised.
Best regards

Sadly the Grade 4 Referee course scheduled for Saturday at Urmston Grammar has had to be cancelled.
There were only six learners signed up by the closing date of Friday at 4pm.
Despite efforts to encourage more, and extending the deadline to Monday 9am, we still did not get near the minimum number of learners to make the course viable.
Disappointing, of course. And with great thanks to Howard Ainsworth and Urmston Grammar for agreeing to host.
Hopefully there will be sufficient interest when we try to run another course in NW.
We have organised a Grade 4 Referee Course on 7 September, at Urmston Grammar School, in Manchester from 09:30 – 18:00.
We need a min of 14 candidates to be able to run the course, and the closing date is 30 Aug.
The course can be booked through the following link:
VolleyZone courses portal
Otherwise let me know directly if you, or anyone else, may be interested.
We will look to hold another course in October, once the university teams are back.
