A comeback win for the British Army men's volleyball team saw them safely through to the quarter-finals of the National Shield.

Spelthorne Lions won the first set comfortably by a 25-15 score in Surrey, but the Army roared back into the game in the second set with a dramatic 25-27 score.

From there, the Army didn't look back and secured the final two sets (15-25, 19-25) to seal a 3-1 win and a place in the quarter-finals.

It means the Army have won all three games so far in the competition after 3-0 wins over Newbury and Guildford earlier in the competition.

It's yet to be confirmed who their quarter-finals opponents will be and when that match will be played.
