The sluggish start was one of the main reasons why the men’s polo team drew with France at the opening of the European Polo Championship in Split. 12-12 is not an ideal start for a team that set the bar high from the start. Our next international opponent will be Malta tomorrow (11.30).

Our midfielders approached the match with a lot of problems in defense. This allowed the French, who were also lucky, to take the lead 3:1. Our teams with Skubakis as a performer tied 3-3. Our teams were leading 5-3, but France emerged victorious at the end of eight minutes (8-7).

Then the Greek defense improved, and our team again took the position of “driver”. The French took the lead again with two quick goals and Argyropoulos made the final score 12-12.

Today the women’s team will play with the Netherlands (21:30, ERT3). This is a match that is considered extremely important as it will determine the continuation of the course. Aleksija Kammenou’s girls have already beaten Hungary 9-8 and Romania 24-3. “The Netherlands is a very good team. We must be good in all games. It is important to stay focused on what we are doing to the end, ”the coach from Greece told us.
