Border Guard Secures Third Consecutive Victory at Hoa Lu - Binh Dien Cup

(Volleyball Result) - The excellence and balanced performance across all lines enabled Border Guard to overcome the host LPB Ninh Binh, marking three consecutive years of winning the Hoa Lu - Binh Dien Cup.

Set 1: Border Guard 26-24 Ninh Binh

The first set of the 2026 Hoa Lu - Binh Dien Cup men's final between Border Guard and LPB Ninh Binh unfolded with thrilling excitement, meeting fans' expectations. LPB Ninh Binh, though considered the underdog, started strongly, but Border Guard, with its star-studded lineup, quickly regained control.

Both sides then contested each point closely; LPB Ninh Binh relied on Batsuuri and Dinh Van Phuong, while Border Guard's pair of main attackers Ngoc Thuan and Minh Duc performed impressively. The turning point came at 24-24; the referee ruled a net violation by a Ninh Binh player after an intense rally, giving Border Guard the set point, which they converted immediately to open the final match.

Set 2: Border Guard 25-21 Ninh Binh

After a fairly balanced start, Border Guard gradually created a difference with their quartet: Minh Duc - Ngoc Thuan - Van Hiep - Duy Tuyen, orchestrated excellently by the "conductor" Dinh Van Duy. Indeed, Van Duy was a major distinction between the sides, with his top-level deceptive blocks and perfectly timed ball adjustments.

Batsuuri alone was insufficient to help Ninh Binh create significant trouble for the defending champions. Border Guard increased the score to 2-0 and were very close to the championship.

Set 3: Border Guard 25-21 Ninh Binh

LPB Ninh Binh started enthusiastically; Batsuuri, Van Phuong, and Anh Tu continuously scored to give the home team a lead of 11-6. It seemed the final might go to a fourth set, but Border Guard, determined to let fans watch the final and sleep early, tightened their formation, played solidly and efficiently to overturn the lead.

Ngoc Thuan's "bombing" attacks were simply unstoppable, especially when Van Duy had deceived the block, allowing the main attacker from (old) Thai Binh to freely unleash. Border Guard accelerated to finish and close this year's Hoa Lu - Binh Dien Cup final after three sets.

Final Result, Border Guard defeated LPB Ninh Binh 3-0 (26-24; 25-21; 25-21). This marks the third consecutive year Border Guard has won the Hoa Lu - Binh Dien Cup, and the fourth time in history the military-uniformed team has crowned the tournament.
