No stopping Court and Schumann

VIS scholarship holders Joshua Court and Damien Schumann have continued their dominating form throughout the Australian Beach Volleyball season, with a decisive victory at the WA Open last week.

In blisteringly hot conditions, the duo moved past Olympic rivals Casey Grice and Josh Slack 21-18, 21-17 in the semi-finals, before beating Bo Soderberg and Cole Durant 21-19, 21-18 in the final.

The win gives the pair their fourth title of the season as they continue to stake their claim for an Australian spot at the Rio Olympics.
