A successful third weekend of autumn part of Bajnokság 2014/15. after which we became "Öszi Bajnok" (autumn champs).
Following the recent perfect completion Serbian League we completed our obligations in the Hungarian Championship for this semi-season with two matches in Vác. We ended this exceptional autumn semi-season unbeaten in the league Hungary. We solve the game against the hosts and last year's champions Mozdulj in our favor with score of 3:2. This was also the match between the only two unbeaten teams in the all six previous matches.
We came into the familiar hall in Vác some earlier, so we could watch the game of our opponents (game nbr.1).
In this match between Mozdulj and Sprint was going on something similar, but that doesn't help us to put our nerves aside in some bag during the game. (In my modest opinion, Sprint has fared even worse, as they simply didn't manage to recover during the game.)
Against Mozdulj we definitely deserved to win, but we didn't fully seized the opportunity to finish off with a more favorable result. Ironic commentary that is spoken after the last referee's whistle, 'Well, we are the reall Masters to win the game ... that we already did won" is quite appropriate here. The sparks that were flashed all around during the match due to refereeing injustice we were not able to compensate, so it costed us the nervousness and uncertainty. (Here I raise two fingers and nodding.) Wishy-washy, up and down, back and forth, and in circles.
The second and the third set we played with our pulse rised too much, which costed us the loss of one point. Results of the rest sets shows that we were indisputably better in the rest of the game. In contrast to the majority of our previous matches against Mozdulj, this time we succeeded to the win.
In the end we came out with a point less than the maximum, we retained our leading position in the table and highlighted the most serious candidacy for the top position at the end of the League. In this moment it is too far away, so we cautiously say that this is only a quarter of the League, and in the spring is following a big fight for the top among the four teams in the Upper Division. The point is that play off follows, in which we still have to meet three times with Mozdulj, Piremon and Sprint. It is good that we are entering the playoffs with a couple points of favour, but of course it would be even better if the advantage would be a two pairs of points, but we will work to fix it. Ah, if that could be as easy as this attack line fixing.
Before the start of our second match we recorded a farewell of one player of the national team, the only female team in Bajnokság. Behind the terrain one could easily recognize that these props belongs to them, too.
Hungarina female national team in the first part of the season yet hasn't won a single set. The girls are slowly progressing, but still there is a huge difference of the game level between the two teams.
Although the final standing is one of our greatest achievements so far, we left the hall aware that it should be even better.
