Days can become quite lengthy when two teams are determined to win, no
matter what the cost That was the case last Saturday, when CFK faced off with
the 932nd ACS in the final round of the Men’s Championship Volleyball Tour-
nament held at Naval Air Station, Keflavik’s base gym.
Both teams came into the tournament with perfect records (8-0) from their re-
spective leagues. Both teams won their first two matches of the tournament
before meeting each other for the first time in the double-elimination contest.
Although CFK lost the first match-up against the 932nd squad, they were far
from defeated. They were sent to the loser’s bracket to test their skills against
a persistent Marine Corp team. The Marines lost their first game of the
tournament, but pulled it together long enough to win four straight matches
before encountering CFK.
After crushing the Marines hopes of a come-back championship, CFK once
again met the 932nd, but this time was able to win the best of five match in five
games. In the final and deciding match of the tournament, each team was tied
two games apiece going into the fifth game, which the 932nd was able to wrest
away from CFK. (Left, in third-round tournament action, the 932nd defeated the
57th FSII, 2-0, just before facing CFK for the first time.)
Off-road racing
is like fun
in the mud
With the start of summer and the warmer
weather, Icelanders frequently travel great
distances to watch their fellow countrymen
participate in off-road competitions. From
January through August, various events in-
cluding icecross, snowmobile races, sand-
drags and rally crosses take place around the
country.
Right, a determined racer slogs his heav-
ily-modified mud racer through the muck at
an off-road event held in Hells recently.
Family Services Center offers a complete
listing of events and dates through August 29.
