NVL review (1st and 2nd November) - Bedminster top Division 1 South

Women’s NVL 

Bedminster – who also got in a National Cup game too – moved to the top of Division 1 South as they took advantage of other teams not playing by beating Team South Wales. 

The teams met in Division 2 West last season, so know each other well, but on this occasion it was the Bristolians who made the trip back from Wales with the points as they ran out 25-22, 25-17, 25-21 winners. 

Sussex Dolphins took their record in 2025-26 to 2-2 with a confident victory over Richmond 2 in Division 2 East, registering a 25-17, 25-22, 25-21 success. 

In Division 3 South East, Essex Ravens bounced back from losing their first two matches of the season in winning both games of their latest triangular. 

They were straight sets victors over Dartford Warriors and Sussex Dolphins 2, while the former beat the latter in the third match, meaning the South Coast club have yet to get off the mark. 

Men’s NVL 

Intervolley Manchester climbed to the top of Division 3 North table with double victory in their triangular with Manchester Moss Side Jaguars and York Falcons. 

They are the only side in the division still to be beaten and have four wins to their names after successive 3-0 victories at Platt Lane Sports Complex. 

The other match saw Moss Side complete a straight sets win to take their seasonal record to 3-1.
