Congratulations ladies!
Agnieszka Bednarek-Kasza & Team Bank BPS Muszynianka Fakro won the prestigious Polish Cup in a 5 set thriller against BKS Bielsko-Biala Aluprof, home team of Polish stars like Anna Baranska-Werblinska & Natalia Bamber.
Match score: Muszyna 3:2 Aluprof (23:25, 25:22, 28:30, 25:23, 15:9).
Muszyna: Bednarek-Kasza 17, Kaczor 22, Sadurek 2, Gajgal 2, Jagielo 13, Stam-Pilon 9, Zenik (L); Wensink 11, Kaczorowska 3, Srutowska 3, Kasprzak 1.

Both teams are expected to compete for the Polish League title as well. It’s going to be an exciting rematch!
In case you didn’t know, both teams competed in the 2010/2011 edition of the Champions League with Muszyna making it to the Magic 6 while Bielsko-Bala played hard in the Playoffs of 12 but failed to move forward.
Also, The winner of the Polish Cup gets a spot in the 2011/2012 edition of the prestigious Champions League.
It’s great to see Anna Baranska-Werblinska again. Girlfriend suffered a minor injury earlier in the season and she’s back in full force! She’s expected to lead the Polish team this season knowing that the 2011 roster doesn’t have Glinka, Bednarek, Skowronska, Kaczor & Zenik. Anna is no doubt the leader of Matlak’s squad.
Debby Stam-Pilon is also playing a great season and we really hope she returns to the Dutch team. She missed the 2010 World Championships because of a back injury.
