Upper Nile State Volleyball Team Tames Upper Nile University
Upper Nile State’s Girls Volleyball team on Tuesday beat Upper Nile University (UNU) Volleyball team in a friendly match at the university playground at Malakal Campus. 23 May 2013 Mr. Majok Lam Jock, Sports Supervisor at the Upper Nile University speaking to Gurtong. [Gurtong | Ariik Atekdit] By Ariik Atekdit Malakal, 23 May 2013 [Gurtong] - The game attracted many spectators in and outside the university. The Sport Supervisor in UNU, Coach Majok Lam Jock said the match came after the state Ministry of General Education invited the university girls’ team to play against theirs. Jock said that state team is the one expected to represent Upper Nile State in Wau for the South Sudan National Inter-school tournament late May. “Our team was invited by the state team for this match. The state volleyball team won the game 3–1. That means our team has lost. But it was a good chance and got us unprepared. Our students have just reported to campus and they have been busy with their lectures,” Jock said. “The university team was really not prepared. We did not know that we would play a match at anytime near. It was really the opportunity the state team got and defeated us,” he added. Jock thanked the state authorities for inviting the university, saying it creates a positive relation between the school students and the Upper Nile University students. “Sports make positive social relations between UNU and school children. Visiting the university campus will also raise their ambitions to study hard to reach the university level,” Jock noted. Jock said the male students’ volleyball teams of UNU and the state will face off soon and he expects his team to win this time.
