    BKS Bielsko-Biała - UNI Opole 0:3 - who would have thought? 🥸


    Mulka looked much better than Szewczyk today, I keep my fingers crossed that she will still start over Speaks.

    Bielsko has a problem - Szedmak doesn’t deliver at all, Szewczyk is messy, Borowczak was also much better last season. And Laak is Laak 😝

    PGE Budowlani Łódź - Developres Rzeszów 3:2

    MVP: Karolina Drużkowska


    Strock 18, Drużkowska 14, Buterez 12 / Sieradzka 15, Pierzchała 13, Jasper 11


    What an awful performance by Piasecka (4/18 in attack), she is in terrible shape 😬

    Some thoughts after 2 first rounds:


    Positive aspects - Taylor Bannister has already demonstrated her potential (I hope she will stay in Rzeszów at least 2 seasons ;(), Julie Lengweiler and Brigitta Petrenko - for now, they look much better than Milos and Meyer last season in Radom, finally I see some energy on a court, what could be the missing element during the previous seasons. Great that Maja Koput gets the opportunity to play in Chemik, Barbara Dapić looks very strong for now in Wrocław, I guess some better teams can try to snatch her for the next season if she continues playing like this. Looks like Mielec will create another monstrous blocker - Moszyńska started in a fantastic way. I would also single Hellvig and Garrison out - they are doing much better than I expected. It's also a bit embarrassing for others Polish OPPs that Zaroślińska who is 38 is still the best one in the league.


    Negative surprises - at the moment, I am somewhat disappointed with the performance of Laak (I think it was a big mistake to keep her), Storck, Szedmak and especially Orzoł, who had 19% in attack and made 4 reception mistakes against the weakest team in the league...

    Łazowska was great today (I can’t believe I say it), especially when it comes to playing with the middles, but we will see if she can play like that vs Radomka next round.

    I'm glad Drożdż and Ejsmont will have the opportunity to play the full season :rose:

    Ejsmont’s ceiling looks crazy, if the setters can feed her, she will be monster in attack.

    Setter Wiktoria Kowalczyk joins ŁKS

    Amazing, I still have high hopes for her. She can be really helpful in blocking with her 193cm, but I didn’t follow her career in USA so I can be really disappointed when it comes to setting itself 😬


    and we dont know when Makarowska-Kulej, Alagierska, Matejko, Wilinska, Lijewska, Gawlak, Sikorska or Saj will play

    Lijewska will play in Azerbaijan. I guess rumors about Wilinska’s end of the career were true then.

    Looking at the rosters, it’s sad to admit, but even Greek or Romanian leagues look much better in terms of quality players. If some large companies decide not to enter into sponsorship, it will only get worse - the best players will go abroad (Piasecka and Pierzchała are next in the line), only average players who are too weak to play abroad will stay in Poland, and the best ones will return for the last 1-2 years of their careers.


    When it comes to the upcoming season it will be very boring at the top of the table but very interesting at the bottom. I would bet on order like that:


    1 - Rzeszów, 2 - Budowlani, 3 - BKS - and I’m like 99% sure that it will be that way

    4-7 Radom/ŁKS/Bydgoszcz/Chemik

    8-11 Mogilno/Wrocław/Mielec/Opole

    12 Nowy Dwór - but maybe another miracle will happen and one of the teams will collapse at the end of the season 😝


    A lot of teams still have a few spots open on their rosters, it seems that signing players from the college league in the mid-season is slowly becoming a trend. Does anybody know will any promising Polish players be returning from the USA, btw?

    The season is over and I am wondering how it will look like in the upcoming year, considering the fact that Wenerska may take a break, maybe Korneluk as well. To be quite honest, I am becoming less and less of a Lavarini enthusiast. If he doesn't expand the roster and allow more players to show themselves, I'll be very disappointed.


    VNL should be a chance for players like Pierzchała, Szewczyk, Milewska, Rasińska, Szczurowska or Orzoł. I hope that especially Dominika will show him how stupid it was to give up on her. I totally get it that Stefano cares about our high position in the ranking, but the roster can be mixed in a reasonable way - a few young players and a few experienced ones. I would love to see Fedusio, Górecka, Pacak and Obiała back, I hope injuries will bypass them.

    ECH’s medal should be a priority.

    OH Natalia Mędrzyk officially to Chemik Police.


    Oh, I feel they can make a huge surprise 🤭 Michor knows what he does and he really squeezed everything out of this team last season with that horrible roster. This year he has a group of really promising players + Natalia 🤩 Maybe they will be back to the top of the league (TOP 4/5) faster that we thought.

    To be honest embarrassing performance by Polish girls :( Nothing to be proud of. But at least Damaske appeared to a wider audience, she should find a place in some good clubs in the near future. And I don’t want to see Jurczyk anymore in this team 😬
