Cameroon defeated stubborn Gambia by 3-0 (25-18, 25-19, 25-16) in the ongoing 2021 U19 Boys African Nations Volleyball Championship in Abuja on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gambia started the first set on a good note but Cameroon overran the performance of determined Gambia boys winning by 25-18 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gambia regained their composure and came out firing in the 2nd set, with strong attacks. They were up 8-5. The game continued to gain momentum with an ace from Cameroon to lead 12-11. Gambia effected substitution to stop the Cameroonian prowess but it was too late as they trailed 16-12 and sealed the second set 25-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cameroon took the lead comfortably in the 3th set, leading 6-1. The Gambians were defenseless and they cannot stop Cameroon\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cameroon raced ahead and Gambia\u2019s frustration resulted in them losing points. A fast spike from Gambia gave them a point, but it was little consolation as Cameroon nailed a headshot on match point to win the set 25-16 and the match 3-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The head coach of Cameroon U19 Boys, Emmanuel Wadama expressed great delight over the performance of his team against Gambia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wadama said the next plan for the Cameroon players is to start preparing for the World Championship in Iran later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said, \u201cI am happy my boys won their second game and this win gave us a chance to book our ticket for the world cup in Iran. My players played a wonderful game and I am happy about their performance. They are young boys full of brilliant energy and ready to work hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
