TENDRING Volleyball Club are celebrating their finest hour – promotion to the sport’s top division.

The club’s women’s team have achieved that feat after cementing their place in next season’s Super 8s.

The Frinton-based team (pictured) will now go head-to-head with some of volleyball’s top talent, including professionals, internationals and Olympians.

And proud coach Nick Davies described the promotion from National League division one as a “highly emotional moment”.

“It was such a relief and a real sense of achievement,” he said.

“There were tears of joy and it’s something we were all very happy and proud to be part of.

“I think everyone would agree it’s the greatest moment in our club’s history, so highly emotional.”
