Poland: despite COVID and absences, 3 points for Jastrzebski Wegiel in advance of Round 24

COVID does not knock down Jastrzebski Wegiel who, in the advance of Round 24, were able to wins in straight sets against Slepsk Malow Suwalki. 5 players are in quarantine (the outside-hitters Fornal and Szymura; the second setter Tervaportti; the third middle-blocker Szalacha and the second libero Biniek), but also all the technical staff (Gardini, Dejewski and Szczebak) so the manager of the youth sector Dariusz Luks sits on the bench, and in the field the 2001 class Michal Gierzot made his debut as starter. The young outside-hitter was decisive in the final of the first set, which ended 32:30 and, eventually, he was even awarded MVP of the match with 11 points, 69% in attack and 61% of positive receptions.
Among the hosts, only Al Hachdadi is wrong (3 points, 27% in attack), but Bucki is ready on the bench (78% in attack) and Slepsk Malow Suwalki collapses only in the 3rd set after fighting also in the very balanced second set.
