Poland: turnover for ZAKSA. Cuprum Lubin, Katowice and Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie win recovery matches of Round 25 and 21

Three Plusliga games were played yesterday: in the first afternoon match Indykpol Olsztyn lost the last chance for the playoffs, badly losing 3-1 the direct clash against GKS Katowice who, with these 3 points, overtook them to eighth place in the standings. MVP of the match the opposite Musial, today on the field in place of the starter Jarosz.
However, the favorite for the eighth place remains Slepsk Malow Suwalki who, in the last 2 games, will face first MKS Bedzin and then Stal Nysa, who was defeated at home in the tie-break by Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie, who temporarily climbed to sixth place in the charts. The picture closes with 2-3 (after the initial 2-0) between leaders ZAKSA Kedzierzyn-Kozle and Cuprum Lubin who, despite the 2 points won, will hardly be able to reach the playoffs. In the first set Nikola Grbic left Semeniuk and Kochanowski (on the field Depowski and Rejno) to rest, then entered the second set in place of Sliwka and Smith. From the third set space also for Kluth in place of Kaczmarek while in the fourth Staszewski replaced Depowski and in the fifth set all the second lines took the field. The substitutions and the low value of the match eventually rewarded the host formation.
