    2 interesting news :whistle: match MOK Rijeka - OKM Centrometal probably will be repeated, due big rule violations. Clerk incorrectly count points for Rijeka, after last point in 5th set there was big fight between players :box: so match will be probably repeated :whistle:


    Now good news. American setter Ryan Ammerman signed for OK Varaždin, he will be in Varaždin on loan from Bled till end of the season. Varaždin first setter didn't renew his contract so they were forced to find new setter and got excellent player. This is biggest signing for Varaždin in club history :thumbsup:

    This was last round of first part of championship. This years league is weakest in last couple of years. All clubs have big financial problems but there will be some transfers for sure. Rumors says that USA setter and biggest signing in this season, Ryan Ammerman, isn't satisfied with league and life in Croatia, so probably he will leave Varaždin . Rijeka lost 8 players before start of the season (5 of them were first lineup players) will look for new players and I expect them higher in future but with current roster they did maximum. Next update will be 25.01.2011 :wavy:

    MOK Mursa outclassed Varaždin in straight sets and it seems Mursa secured first place before playoff as no one can cope with them. Varaždin lost 2 players during winter break (setter Ammerman and OH Srdoč) and I think they will have problems to keep 2nd position. Sisak beat 3rd ranked Centrometal with ease, showing better days will come after winning 3rd place in Croatian Cup :super: . Opatija is still without win, while Zagreb beat Karlovac in 5 sets and they will climb up for sure.

    Final


    HAOK MLADOST - OK MLADOST KAŠTELA 2:3 (25:27,19:25,25:22,29:27,7:15)


    Kaštela deservedly won Cup in front of their fans. Even Mladost returned in match after 0-2, Kaštela were better team. Biggest surprise is Sisak who beat Mursa in straight sets and thus have achieved the greatest success in club history. Mursa is current leader in Croatian league so surprise is quite big :drink:

    Mursa is still dominant team, no one can track them and they continued in same rythm after the break. Varaždin lost few players, they are struggling and there is big battle in front of them in order to keep 2nd position before PO. After 3rd place in Cup Sisak kept good form and secured PO, they will try to go up to avoid Mladost Zagreb in PO and that means end for Sisak. Karlovac, Rijeka and Šibenik will fight for last PO place, Zagreb is too weak to interfere these three teams. Opatija is already in 2nd division.

    Regular season is over and next weekend starts. First six team qualified for the playoffs where Mladost Kaštela and Mladost Zagreb joins Croatian league after playing MEVZA. These two teams are biggest favs for finals and it's almost impossible to see any other team in final.


    QF plays on 2 win with 1-1-1 system.

    Mladost Kaštela and Mladost Zagreb will advance in SF probably without losing single set but other two matches will be interesting. Most interesting match will be Mursa - Sisak, team from Osijek is favorite here but Sisak already beat them twice this season. Varaždin lost two best players OH Srdoč (joined Mladost Kaštela) and USA setter Ammerman (Mladost Zagreb) during winter break and I see Daruvar going into SF.

    Are there any young players worth to follow,like last year members Raic,Galic,Zhukouski?Maybe Mihalj,Damjanovic,or libero?

  • Are there any young players worth to follow,like last year members Raic,Galic,Zhukouski?Maybe Mihalj,Damjanovic,or libero?


    Mihalj, after claiming best spiker of challenge cup final 4 last season, lost his position in starting 6 so he was on bench most of the time. Damjanovic improved a lot, but still not on level of Raic/Galic of last season. Libero Sarcevic is rewarded with NT call which is big satisfaction for him and excellent season. Also both MB's are in NT right now (Sabljak and Colic). We will hardly see some big transfer like with golden trio last season, something like that isnt going to repeat so often, especially not from croatia....

  • Thank you,Raul...I am not expecting any big transfer,to be honest,just wanted to know who can I expect in NT after years of marasm in croatian volleyball.Realy looking forward to see Croatian NT in European league.Could you give me some websites where I can find bit more infos about croatian volleyball,or just post NT rooster?Reading sportnet,vecernji,sportske novosti almost everyday but it seems,that I can much more information about croatian rugby than volleyball.I am from Kosice in Slovakia,so might see your (and mine as well as a fan of ex-yugo sport) NT in Final 4 in July;-)

    You see, it is easier to find video of cuban volley league :D 8o than about croatian volley, here is catastrophic situation about volley. As i know list is:


    Setters: Krnić, Žukovski and Marelić,
    Opposites: Omrčen, Ćuk and Demirović
    OH: Kovačević, Peterlin, D. Nojić and Žanić,
    MB: Vulin, Sabljak, Colić, Zelić and Mihalj,
    "universal players": Galić, Raič, Šuker, Močić and Andrić
    liberos: Ž. Nojić, Šarčević, Fehir and Tropan


    Omrcen surely won't play EL since he is on rest now and then going in Qatar... Galic is still in Cuneo, waiting big finals and v-day sunday...NT is on preparation in Daruvar, and as i know from this list D.Nojic and Tropan are out but it is so hard to find anything official. Will post here any new info...
