Since today, on the tracks of the city Gdańsk one may observe a special tram of the team LOTOS Trefl Gdańsk.The management of the club try to advertise their club in many possible ways. One of their last ideas is a tramp in the city, with the name and colors of the club.

Atom Trefl Sopot is a leader of Plus League (Women). A lot of excellent players from Poland and abroad play in the club. Alessandro Chiappini, from Italy, is the coach of the team. Lotos Trefl Gdańsk fights for promotion to the Plus League (Men). The management try to advertise their club in many possible ways. One of their last ideas is a tramp in the city, with the name and colors of the club. At the border of Gdańsk and Sopot there is a hall “Ergo Arena”, where the World League Final will perform, in term 6th – 10th of July 2011.     
Each team has two more matches left till the end of Round Robin of the I league (Men). The penultimate matches will take place on Wednesday. Avia Świdnik players led by the former coach of Junior Men’s National Team, Grzegorz Ryś, will play against MKS MOS Interpromex Będzin.
-There is still possibility to take a safe 9th place. First of all, we have to win in Będzin. The match starts at 17.00h, therefore, unfortunately, we will not be able to see match PGE Skra Bełchatów in Kazań. We would like to express our support. For sure it will be a great show-says Grzegorz Ryś. MKS MOS Interpromex is ranked 9th with 29 points. MCKiS PKE Energetyk Jaworzno is 10th, and ASPS Avia Świdnik 11th. Both teams have 25 points. The last matches Avia will play at Home against Energetyk, aand MKS MOS will go to Trefl Gdańsk, who aims to get promotion to the Plus League. If Avia Świdnik wins in Będzin, it will not have 100% of chances for the 9th place, but surely the possibility will increase.

Recently, Grzegorz Ryś became the coach of Avia, that keeps on fighting for maintenance in the I league. He has already led his team during three matches and watched several on video. –For sure, the level in the I league is aligned, a potentially weaker team may win with the leader. There are no specified favorites, therefore, the teams ranked at the bottom of the table do not represent lower level then the highest ones. Definitely, the matches are some kind of a battle, where high level of the play is being presented. The teams know how to deal with pressure-sais the coach from Świdnik.  

According to coach Ryś, I league teams are playing in cycle Saturday-Saturday and is a good idea. – Sometimes there are some matches on Wednesdays, but the cycle first approved Romains unchanged. Therefore, we can call it a kind of regularity. Sometimes the I league is being called “the top league background”. This is the way it should be. Many clubs from the I league are poor, therefore, they rather vegetate then function as they should. There are clubs without the second coaches or statistics. For this reason the structural solutions are needed-said Grzegorz Ryś.

Jadar Radom, the leader of the I league (Men’s) will have a free day on Wednesday. The team won the match with SMS Spała, gaining the promotion as a result. Its greatest rival will go to Ostrołęka. Worth mentioning is the fact that since today, on Gdańsk's tracks one may observe a special tram of the team LOTOS Trefl Gdańsk. Veneering an advertisement of the team on vehicle has finished on Monday morning. From Tuesday, till the end of the year 2011 everyone can travel by the tram. It will follow line 6 and 11. On this occasion Trefl Gdańsk S.A. has prepared a special photo contest called “catch the tram!”. Everyone who takes an original photo of a tramp may participate in the contest.
