Panathlitikos vs AS Pera

Our team was involved in yet another cliffhanger match. We played against AS Pera and won 3-2.
We won the first, lost the second, won the third, lost the fourth and finally won the fifth set.
All in all, an enjoyable game.

Most of our games this season end with a tie-break set... The reason was obvious yet always elusive. Things however have changed! I can now proclaim with a fair amount of confidence why we always go to the tie-brake:
We love volleyball too much! We want to play as much as possible even if that means (and it has meant) a possible loss.

I am of course joking. Half-joking...

Panathlitikos vs Polygyros (AOP)

In a total nerve-cracking, jaw-dropping, unexpected game we lost 3-2 to Polygyros last Thursday.
We were winning 2-0 with relative ease. Heck, we were winning 13-7 in the third set but ended up losing 25-23. The rest of the game was downhill.

The loss prompted a team discussion that, we hope, will have solved some problems. Tomorrow's game shall be the judge. Stay tuned!

Panathlitikos vs Galaxias

We played against one of the best teams in our league and lost 3-0.
The beginning of the first set was kind of bad, cause our reception was under-performing. It later got better and remained good till the end of the match.
During the middle of the first set there were signs that the improbable could actually happen, that we could push and score a win. Things were at their best at 20-19 but we couldn't keep it up and lost.
The remaining two sets were easily won by them.

Panathlitikos vs AEN Agias Triadas (AEN Holy Trinity)

We managed to score an important victory this last Thursday. Not because we were playing a against a good team, but because we hadn't scored a victory for a while; it thus became a moral booster.
We won 3-2. A very unpredictable match...
