Volleyball: Tests for U19s

New Zealand's under 19 volleyball teams are preparing for a five-test series against Australia on both sides of the Tasman.

The women's team will contest the annual Jenny Kirk Cup series in Melbourne, in defence of a trophy they have held for five years, starting on Saturday.

The men start their five-game series at Otara Leisure Centre on Monday, with other games to follow at Bethlehem College in Tauranga, Hillcrest High School in Hamilton and ending at Otara next week.
