Quote from Asian Volleyball Confederation
Australia, fourth place at the previous edition in Tianjin, China two years ago and hot favourites in Group D, started aggressively in their opener
against Hong Kong. Talented captain Benjamin Hardy, who had experienced six World Championship tournaments, methodically tore the Hong Kong's defence
into shreds with his exceptional cross-court spikes to help a fired-up Australia clinch the first set 25-17.
Hong Kong changed several players in the second set to find the right formula in the tough match against the much stronger Australians, who already
booked a berth to play in the next year's Japan-hosted World Championship. Still, the Aussies, whose height average is 200cm against the
rivals-183cm, proved too much for the hapless Hong Kong to claim the one-sided set 25-12.
Their confidence sky-high after winning two sets successively, the powerful Australia fielded all substitute players in the third set. Taking a
commanding 24-13 lead, Aussies allowed the less-skilled rivals one more point from Nathan Roberts's serving mistake before 205cm-tall David Ferguson
spiked devastatingly to the midcourt to hand the Australians the third-set win 25-14.
After the match, Australian head coach Russell Borgeaud expressed his satisfaction over his team's glittering performance, but still admitted that an
uphill task awaits his team in this tournament.
It is very happy that my team won the first match. It helped boost my team spirit. I think my players did a good job. However, Hong Kong also played a
good match against us, particularly in the first set, where both sides played a hard-fought battle. This is a newly-formed Australian team mixed
between veterans and young talents,Borgeaud commented.

Quote from Asian Volleyball Confederation
The Philippines collected five points from two wins against one loss to finish second in Group D, while Uzbekistan came in third place with one win
over Hong Kong on Thursday against two losses.
Uzbekistan on Thursday came from behind to beat Hong Kong 3-2 sets (28-30 18-25 25-16 25-17 15-9). Winless Hong Kong now have to take on the
lacklustrous United Arab Emirates for the 17th-18th place play-off on Saturday. The UAE on Thursday suffered their third successive loss in the
eight-day tournament to Japan, going down 16-25 23-25 22-25.
哎! 真係唔底. 先贏兩局都輸番轉頭. 無辨法啦.
無論如何, 支持香港隊.

Earlier, the United Arab Emirates pulled off a dramatic 3-2 (25-14 26-28 26-28 25-23 15-8) victory over Hong Kong in the 17th-18th place play-off.
男子隊攞到5局，算有交待，努力！
香港有幾場比賽打足五局都唔錯架喇......埠際賽要加油唷!!!
