Volleyball Season - Preview

Jackie Robinson – This Iconic player was the first Black baseball player in the history of sports.
Lionel Conacher – Nicknamed “The Big Train”, is one of the top Canadian sportsman from early 90s.
Ian Bothom – An English cricket legend & current commentator, holds record for most test wickets by a English bowler.

What the heck are these guys doing rounds at UL Infy Blogs. By god, this is not an attempt to flourish the sports wisdom of UL folks, but rather to point out few (very very few) athletes in the entire history of sports who are famous as muti-sports specialists.

Jackie was a sports virtuoso, taking on every game, the likes of football, baseball, track, and basketball and competing at a high level in all of them.
Conacher made his name in history, excelling in Canadian football, ice hockey, lacrosse, baseball, boxing and wrestling.
Botham was a English league footballer before he made it to cricketing world.

Well.. though this list is so bare & short, it stands synonymous with UL Infy sports.
Yeah… we UL Infy don’t have any such scarcity when it comes to our sports history. Be it tennis, football, crickets or the latest fad volleyball, the lists of specialists, experts, masters, strategists, organizers, the list just grows large & wide.

A welcome break after the hectic tennis tournament, get set for another high-energy action – The volleyball tournament.

Starting altogether a new ball game (literally) last Thursday & oh boy it’s a sell out crowd even for the practice match. (I doubt if it was just the farewell cake that lured guys there.. but atleast I set the expectations right here !!)

So wait not.. Hit the ground today @ 5:15 for the very first match between Scorpions v/s Gators

A 3 match short tournament, (like a T-20 version of worldcup) the volleyball news & reports are gonna take rounds this place in coming week.

Stay tuned.. that's all for now Folks..
