Our ladies won 3-0 away in Vrilisia and now advance to the last 8 teams of the competition. We were very disciplined, played as a team and had a very good defence. These three important items were the backbone of the win yesterday. We now get to beat Poutanas Gios on Monday evening in Rentis.

We lost in volleyball against Pamvochaikos earlier this evening. The game was the home leg of the playoffs and makes our job harder to overcome the opponents in the return match. We had the support of approximately 150 fans with banners and drums as opposed to just 10 fans from Pamvochaikos. Nevertheless we ended up losing the game in the final set and need to pick up our game to force a third game (wednesday).
