YUKIOR leader of MVL, but the whole struggle is ahead
The regular part of the Russian Championship in the Youth Volleyball League has long passed the equator - the teams played 22 match from 30. After the completed 23 December of the fifth round, our YUKIOR leads the standings, overtaking the closest pursuers from Kuzbass-2 by two points.
The fifth round of YUKIOR was held in Labytnangi, winning five matches out of six. SSOR "Samotlor" was defeated twice (Nizhnevartovsk) and "Nova-2" (Novokuibyshevsk), and the battle with the MVL champion “Fakel-2” also generally left an advantage on our side - 3:1 and 2:3.
I think, that place in the top six, which will play for medals, Surgut residents practically have it in their pocket and we are talking about taking a higher position. It's not that simple here: our guys have not yet played with Novosibirsk Lokomotiv-SSHOR, which is in fourth place., us, properly, with Kuzbass-2. Perhaps, meetings with these opponents in the last, seventh round, in Kemerovo, and will become decisive.
In the meantime, we are waiting for the sixth round in Surgut, starting 9 January. YUKIOR's rivals will be Zenit-UOR, which are in seventh and eighth places, respectively. (Kazan) and ASK-2 (Nizhny Novgorod). Kazan and Nizhny Novgorod residents are trying to catch onto the last carriage of the Final Six. Zenit's chances are slightly better, but both teams will fight desperately in Surgut.
