The Danube League arrives in Kosice for Round three

April 13, 2022

After two successful rounds of matches in Becej and Szentes, the Danube League is back this Easter weekend and this time, the newly created women’s tournament is camped up in Kosice, Slovakia.

Situated east of the Slovak Ore Mountains, Kosice is the country’s second largest city, and home to SK Olympia Kosice – the countries best female club. The club is still in its infancy stage, having only been founded in the back end of 2016. However, since their formation, they have won three Slovakian titles (2017, 2018 and 2019) and three Slovakian Cups (2016, 2018 and 2019). Olympia Kosice took a big step forward in the 2019 season and participated in the Euro League. They repeated that feat this season.

It hasn’t all been wine and roses for the Slovakian’s this season though. They were very uncompetitive in the Euro League this season; being completely outclassed by Sabadell, Ethnikos and Ekipe Orizzonte. To compound the issues in the pool, they then suffered a huge COVID outbreak in their squad – which put many of their fixtures, including in the Danube League, in jeopardy.

However, the Slovakians, led by Szabolcs Eschwig-Hajts, are ready to show they can climb up the table in front of a home crowd.  They have to play an unbelievable nine games this weekend, which is unprecedented for any group of players. The physical toll will be immense, but Kosice will hope they can win the games they should, and not drop too many points.

The reason Kosice have to play so many fixtures is firstly due to the fact they missed their games from the 2nd round in Szentes. However, both of the Croatian teams, ZAVK Mladost and VK Jadran Spilt, are unexpectedly not attending this gameweek, for which they will be punished with  5-0 defeat for each match.

Szentes are top of the league as it stands. The Hungarians finished 6th in the OB I this season and have really been solid under the stewardship of Mark Matajzs. They are the team to beat in the Danube League.

Shortly behind Szentes, Red Star Belgrade are a big force with a lot of quality. They recently made the finals of the Serbian League with a solid win over rivals Partizan. They will face VK Vojvodina in the Serbian Play-Off Finals – who trail Red Star by a single point in the Danube League.

With Romania qualifying for the European Championships in Split later this summer, their representatives WPA Bucuresti will provide stern opposition for the other teams this weekend. Great Britain will once again be sending a hybrid team of developing players and what would have been their Universiade squad, while Tas2000 will hope to score their first points of the season.
