Yunnan Defeats Myanmar in Volleyball Friendly
China's Yunnan Provincial women's team defeated Myanmar 3-0 in a friendly volleyball match at the National Indoor Stadium-1 Thursday evening in Yangon.
The Yunnan team, with an average age of 21 and height of 1.79 meters, easily won the match against the Myanmar team, which has an average age of 23 and height of 1.7 meters, with the set scores of 25-11, 25-16 and 25-15.
U Tint Lwin, coach of the Myanmar selected women's team told Xinhua after the match that "my team could compete with the Yunnan team more than I expected."
"Yunnan team is better than Myanmar team in every thing such as experience, height, physical power and technique," he added.
Under the cultural exchange program between China and Myanmar, a 14-member Yunnan team, comprising 10 sportswomen, arrived here on Wednesday to play two friendly matches with the Myanmar selected women's team.
The second match will be on the same venue on Saturday.
In October 1993, a Yunnan provincial women's team visited Myanmar and played three friendly matches with Myanmar and the Yunnan team won all the three matches.
