Ahmedabad Defenders clinched the Prime Volleyball League title with a 15-7, 15-10, 18-20, 13-15, 15-8 win over Bengaluru Torpedoes at the Regional Sports Centre in Kochi on Sunday.

Angamuthu was named the player of the match for his dominating show.

LM Manoj and Nandhagopal combined early to put blocks on Bengaluru’s attacks. As Ibin and Pankaj got involved in attacks, the Torpedoes showed they are here to fight.

But with incessant attacks from Angamuthu, the Defenders maintained their composure.

As skipper Muthusamy Appavu began setting up Danial and Manoj, Ahmedabad drew block errors from the Torpedoes and picked up a hefty lead.

With service pressure building, the Torpedoes struggled to run their attacking plays from the middle.

Ahmedabad’s in-form defence tackled well with Bengaluru’s attack, while Angamuthu and Santhosh dismantled the Torpedoes’ momentum.

Just when it looked like Ahmedabad will run with the game, Sethu’s magic from the service line brought Bengaluru back into the business.

Danial almost ended the show with his powerful spikes. But Bengaluru held themselves on, drawing errors from Ahmedabad.
