Perth & District Volleyball League called on a range of players to make up a team to enter Scottish Volleyball’s Scottish Cup competition and a wide range of players from Fife, Kinross and Perth came together on Saturday afternoon at Heriot Watt University’s Oriam Indoor Sports’ facility.
There was an added edge to this fixture with two former Kinross High School pupils, Callum McPherson and Matthew Collie, playing for the University side whilst Kinross coach Dave Munro was in the Perth & Kinross select line-up.
