Renegades in the News

The current issue of The University of Melbourne Voice writes in their article Student athletes follow in steps of Olympic greats the following:

Mrs Qi Shen was named Coach of the Year for leading the women’s University Blues team to the national championship in the Australian Volleyball League. The University Blues represent Victoria in the national competition with the team licence co-owned by the Melbourne University Renegades Volleyball Club and the Monash University Volleyball Club.

The Renegades Volleyball Club was also named Club of the Year for their on-court success at the national and state level, for their strong administration as well as junior and international club development.

"Winning the AVL title last year was great for volleyball in Victoria and at the University. And we’ve just returned from an exciting men’s tour of China which we spent most of last year planning. These awards tonight really cap off a wonderful 2008 for the Club”, said Vice-President Rosemary Bissett after collecting the awards.

Rosemary also collected $1000 that goes with the Club of the Year trophy. The money was presented by way of a large novelty cheque from Christine Brown of the Melbourne University Credit Union which is a long-time supporter of club sport at the University.
