Defending champion Kerala subdued Tamil Nadu 25-22, 25-23, 25-23 to retain the men’s title in the 61st National volleyball championship here on Tuesday. With the energetic K.S. Ratheesh, Vibin M. George. S. Ajesh and P. Rohith spiking with precision and power, apart from putting up tight blocks, Kerala proved a tough nut to crack.
There were at least three posters of Tom Joseph with a bunch of spectators in the arena, and he did not disappoint his fans as he was in the forefront to power Kerala to victory. Joseph smashed with power and also lent support to the defence when the situation demanded.
In the women’s final, Kerala tried its best, but could not make much of an impression on Railways, which clinched its 28th title in the championship.
