Wagner Memorial
Poland’s first game at the 16th Wagner Memorial looked pretty good and the rivals didn’t have much to say, except in the first set, when they were close to take a lead.
The Canadians were ahead by two points (21-19) but with Kurek’s serves and Sliwka’s attacks the home team managed to win the first set.
In the second set, the Polish team quickly went ahead and made a huge distance from the rival. Simply, the Stephane Antiga’s side couldn’t do anything to reduce rival’s lead.
Even in the third set, Poland got a big lead which managed to keep until the end of the game.
