Police, Rukum West win tenth ‘PM Cup: NVA Women & Men Volleyball League’

The Kathmandu Post reports on the exciting conclusion of the tenth edition of the ‘PM Cup: NVA Women & Men Volleyball League,’ with Nepal Police Club and Rukum West Volleyball Club emerging as champions.

From the very beginning, Police asserted dominance against New Diamond, a club run by senior coach Kumar Rai.

In the women's final, the formidable Nepal Police Club defended their title for the fourth year running, overcoming a strong challenge from New Diamond Youth Sports Club. The match was a display of resilience and skill, with Police ultimately prevailing in four sets after a closely contested battle. This victory solidifies Police's status as a dominant force in women's volleyball within Nepal.

However, New Diamond is a team that can bounce back at any time. And they did, albeit it was insufficient, as Police won the first set 25-21.

The men's final saw a historic upset as the emerging Rukum West Volleyball Club captured their first-ever PM Cup title. They dethroned the previously dominant Help Nepal Sports Club, who were aiming for their sixth championship. Rukum West's victory, achieved in three hard-fought sets, marks a significant moment for the team and signals a shift in the competitive landscape of Nepali men's volleyball. Both winning teams received a substantial cash prize of Rs1 million each, with runners-up taking home Rs500,000.

Help Nepal’s dominance was put to an end by an emerging team—the Rukum West Volleyball Club, which clinched their maiden title defeating Help Nepal in three successive sets.
