Stork cuts Mallet’s night short

Scavengers player Dale Mallet made fatherhood a priority during a Busselton Volleyball Association A-grade game against Sugar n Spice, rushing to his wife’s aid as she went into labour.

Mallet was playing a strong game in the first set but had to leave when his wife called, expecting their baby at any minute.

Sugar n Spice took advantage of his departure, with Peter Angell and Wes Combridge hitting some huge spikes and Nick Tyler setting well to give Sugar n Spice the win 25-19 25-18 25-24.
