Over two thousand of spectators have already come to see Trefl’s matches, therefore, noe we expect even more of them.
Dominik Kwapisiewicz, coach of Jadar Radom, says if we manager to get so far, there is no point in thinking about our goals. –What we have to do is to win this I League. Our matches against Ślepsk were very similar to those with Bielsko-Biała. The first match was won rather easily. The obstacles emerged in the second one. We will enter the third match with balanced optimism-said the coach from Radom.
