Despite only winning two of three games I'm calling session 2 a good session. In pretty much every week until the last one I'd played T7 twice and the leftovers in the other game or games.

I did play T7 against the Scarecrows (both my Liberos are similar overall and so are my second middle blockers) but once again we lost. I think overall we were slightly the stronger but a close game could go either way. I think it's the first time we've taken them to 5 sets.

It's the other games I'm most pleased about. Both won 3-1 as I didn't throw either. Both were close on the pre-game stats but I'm hoping team selection made a difference. I did change things around a lot.

We are the FITtest team with 13 players on FIT 1, 6 more than the next best. I'm hoping this will make a difference over the next weeks with 3 and 4 game sessions.

We are the slight favourites in our next three games assuming it's T7 vs T7. Obviously we can't play T7 in all 3.
