Volleyball players of OJSC Severneftegazprom had to meet with the players of the construction company Velesstroy, the team of the Administration of the Nadym region, as well as the teams of Gazprom Dobycha Yamburg and Achimgaz.
Already in the first match, the Company's team showed a bright and uncompromising game. More than just a fighting spirit allowed the volleyball players of OJSC Severneftegazprom to take the leading role, and left the rival Velesstroy in the role of catching up.

The game ended with a score of 2:0 in favor of the Administration of the Nadym region.
The match with the volleyball players of Gazprom Dobycha Yamburg ended with another defeat. The rival is the clear favorite of the group and one of the main contenders for victory in the tournament, although it was leading in the score, he came out on top with great effort. The team of OJSC Severneftegazprom showed a worthy resistance, which rightfully earned the warm support of the stands. Unfortunately, a good start and interesting moments during the meeting did not change the overall picture and the result on the scoreboard. The meeting ended with a score of 2:0 in favor of Gazprom Dobycha Yamburg.
