Sypik Australia – NPL Invitational – Day 4 – Championship Sunday Preview
“Four seasons in one day” – Day 3 of the Sypik Australia – NPL Invitational 2025 was hampered by absolutely vintage Melbourne weather, resulting in the last 16 quarter final matches across 4 pro events to be moved to a nearby Indoor venue
That did not dampen spirits or the HQP; the Quarter Finals were phenomenal, 3 setters, top seeds under pressure and nervous energy before a huge final day on Sunday.
And now, what was meant to be 5 Finals on the first ever Championship Sunday in NPL History has turned into 5 Finals + 10 Semi Finals…. (and 5 Bronze Medal Matches)…but who’s counting….
