The favored HB Ostrov unexpectedly fought for another victory in the extra league
Radek Skála decided the victory of the reigning domestic champion only in the fifth duel. “We managed to win more than we expected before the match,” remarked the coach of Havlíčkův Brod table tennis players František Kanta for Friday’s duel.
At the same time, HB Ostrov went to Prague on Friday as a significant favorite, the role was also facilitated by the fact that the home team lacked their currently best player Tomáš Pavelka. However, the guests did not play the cards or the commitment of individual players. “We had to turn the development of the match around, it wasn’t entirely pleasant. In the end, we managed the whole match and we take a close win, “added František Kanta.
Radek Skála lost to Martin Koblížek at the beginning, then Tomáš Tregler, who managed with Jakub Slapnička, also equaled the match with a clear win. But then Michal Obešlo lost in four sets to Martin Olejník and KT Praha took the lead for the second time.
In the final two matches, however, Tomáš Tregler and Radek Skála did not lose a hundred and the turn in development became a reality. “Tomáš Tregler held the team again, he played very well. Fortunately for us, Radek Skála managed the fifth match with an overview, “František Kanta pointed out the positives of the whole match.
