Panathlitikos vs Asteria Pylaias

The last game for E.P.E.S.T.H.s A' Regional championship took place close to a month ago.
We lost 3-0 to our opponents in a not so satisfying game.

Our team ended up finishing 6th out of 12. We continue our training and aim for a better placement at next year's championship.

Goose signing off!

Panathlitikos vs Navarhos Botsis

This post is way overdue, since the game actually took place more than a month ago.
I don't remember too much of the game's details, only that it ended 3-0 for us and that in the last set we were losing close to 6 points and with several consecutive blocks and a few attacks we won.

Panathlitikos vs MENT (again)

Our second match against MENT was for the championship, but unfortunately the outcome was worse that our cup match. We lost 3-0 and our performance was not that good due to lack of enthusiasm.

Two more games remain till the end of the championship and by the looks of it we will be ranked 6th out of 12 at the end of the championship.

Panathlitikos vs MENT

Our team put forward a rather good performance against MENT but ended up losing 3-2.
We lost the first two sets but then played very well and won the remaining two. We lost the final set relatively easily (10-15).
The loss felt rather bitter, even though we played well, since we were bumped out of the cup.

Panathlitikos vs AS Pera

We won Thursday's game against AS Pera 3-1.
The win though came at a loss: Our middle spider stepped on the outside spiker's foot and twisted its ankle. The outside spiker took its place in the next two sets.

Tarantula I hope you will have recuperated by tomorrow's game and become an iron curtain once more!

Panathlitikos vs Polygiros

In one of our poorest performances since the beginning of the season, we lost to Polygiros 3-0 on Sunday. The loss almost eliminates all our hopes to be positioned in fourth place thus preventing us to take part in the playoffs.
We will nonetheless try our best for the remaining games and try especially hard for the soon approaching cup match with MENT.

Panathlitikos vs Galaxias

We put forward a very good performance against the first team in our league. Unfortunately we ended up losing 3-1. We won the first set and almost won the second as well. Tough Luck!

Panathlitikos vs AEN Agias Triadas

A 3-1 win took place on Sunday. We played against the weakest team in our league and did win, but we certainly lost one set and almost lost a second.
It seems to me that we are capable of great games but we are also prone to lots of mistakes.
We are currently positioned 6th out of 12.

The game was the first out of 3 we have during this week. The remaining are with two of the better teams in our league.

Panathlitikos vs H.A.N.TH (YMCA Of Thessaloniki)

We played against a rather good team and lost 3-0. The opponents are currently positioned at 2nd place.
Their defense during the game was very good while ours was below what it should have been. Similarly for our reception...

The loss puts us to 7th place. There are still lots of games till the end of the championship so we still have high hopes for a good placement.

Omnium Gatherum

A bunch of us Panathlitikos Athletes shall be meeting this Saturday for food at Oreokastro, right after our practice. Anyone interested, sound off!

Panathlitikos vs Eukarpia

We scored our second 3-0 win for this volleyball season. Let's hope we'll be able to keep it up. The match was relatively easy, although at some parts we were making many consecutive mistakes that could have cost us a set or two. Our middles (that includes you Tarantula) performed very well both offensively, a la Power Spikes, and defensively, a la Iron Curtains.

The win puts into 5th place (out of 12) in the league.
FIFTH!

Pita Bread!

Panathlitikos vs Aetos

The first official match for the new year ended with a win.
Not only that, it is also our first 3-0 win in an official match since the beginning of the volleyball season.
Our serves have greatly improved. They can now be classified dangerous (of Swinger fame)! Let's hope they'll prove as such during this week's important game.

Panathlitikos vs Epikouros (Again...)

We once again played with Epikouros' youngsters and won 3-1. We lost the first set but the rest were relatively easy.

Anyone interested, sound off!

Panathlitikos vs Epikouros

We had a friendly match with Epikouros' team and won 3-1. Their official team is quite high in Greece's National league, but we played with their younger team. Our team's young players, namely Stratoulis, Nikolakis, Aggelakos and Mitsakos also had their chance to play and gain some experience.
