On year ago, the young players of Ha Tinh made a remarkable debut at the national junior tournament for volleyball clubs when they defeated many strong teams to qualify for the final match where they were stopped by Sanest Khanh Hoa. Many people supposed that it was just luck that Ha Tinh gained these achievements at the 2016 tournament. However, Ha Tinh’s young players kept asserting their competence at the 2017 tournaments with the wins over strong teams like Border, Becamex - Army Corps 4 and The Cong to enter the final.
 
In the mean time, Sanest Khanh Hoa had been predicted to be the finalist at this year’s tournament. Sanest Khanh Hoa was the 2016 champion. As the host of the 2017 tournament, Sanest Khanh Hoa was also enthusiastically cheered by the spectators. Besides, in order to prepare for this year’s tournament, the team recruited some outstanding players from the professional and strong young clubs.

 “The host team has good quality players. It is not surprised that they win the tournament. Unfortunately, we join this tournament with the absence of some competent players because we have been mustering up our strength for the professional team. I also highly appreciate the organization of the tournament and the enthusiastic cheer of Nha Trang spectators who gave encouragement to the young players,” said Tran Thanh Tung, Coach of Ha Tinh.
