Chennai Spartans, the victors of the debut Pro Volleyball League, have made it to the main four among Asian clubs after they achieved the semi-finals of Asian Club Volleyball Championships on Wednesday in Taiwan.




The Spartans beat Vietnamese club Ho Chi Min City 25-21, 25-18, 25-21 in the quarter-last to make it to the last four.

In the semi-finals, they will either play against Taichung Bank from Taiwan or Iran's Shahrdari Varamin.

Out of the blue since 1986, an Indian volleyball crew is in decoration dispute at the Asian Level. In the event that India win the semi-last, they will likewise play for gold in the last or the consequences will be severe, they will play for a bronze award.

So far in the competition, Rudy Verhoeff and Ruslans Sorokins, who were significant to Spartans' title-winning effort in February, have been imperative pinions in the wheel for the group in Taiwan too.

Be that as it may, it's the Indian ability of Jerome Vineeth and Aswal Rai, which has made heads turn in the competition.

The Vietnamese club ran the Indians close in the principal set and it was some fine assaulting by any semblance of Jerome Vineeth and Ruslans Sorokins that helped the Spartans catch the favorable position.

The following set saw any semblance of Rudy Verhoeff and Naveen Raja Jacob venture up and the couple guaranteed the Spartans never gave away the preferred standpoint in spite of some fine spiking by Nguyen Van Hanh. This permitted Coach Kumara the opportunity to experiment with his stores.

Ho Chi Minh pushed the Spartans hard in the last set, however the late resurgence just deferred the unavoidable as the Indian club scored up their back to back second in a row set triumph.

The Spartans mentor M.H Kumara communicated his fulfillment with the execution.

"It was our best outcome so far in this competition as we are presently among the main four groups alongside powerhouses like Japan, Iran and conceivable Qatar. We played gravely just in the principal match and after that we lifted it up to win the rest of the matches. We have achieved the semi-finals without precedent for India's history. My players came here on April 13 and had a brief timeframe to prepare together as a full group here, only two days in front of the challenge. I think my players played well in this match as far as the quality and key arrangement."
