Tolio premieres in Spain and Cekura in Serbia after their new winter deals

In the winter they came to new agreements with foreign clubs and on the evening of Friday 19/01 they held their premiere.

The reason for the athletes of our national women’s table tennis team, Katerina Toliou and Dimitra-Thomaida Tsekoura. She was locked up until the end of the season at CDTM Hujase Jaen from Andalucia and will compete again in the Spanish league after the previous two seasons, where she was at Reus Miro.

Cekura will have new experience in a foreign league, as they made a similar agreement with TTC Josip Kolumbo, a team of the A1 national division of Serbia. We remind you that alongside the Greek A1, our internationals have been competing since the beginning of the season in France (Ren, 2nd national division) and Sweden (Juno, 1st national division) respectively. Yesterday their presence in the new competition was positive, the Toliou club suffered a defeat, while the Chekoura team continued with a win.

In the Iberdrola Superdivision Femenina the program continued with the 12th matchday. Toliou wore the CDTM Hujase Jaen jersey for the first time, which she will reinforce in the 2nd round. The team lost 4-2 away to Unio Esportiva Sant Cugat and the top Greek athlete had 1 win and 1 loss individually. In her debut, she naturally lost 3-0 sets to the Chinese Hu Limei, who 10 years ago had also reached the top 20 of the world ranking. In her second game, our champion defeated the Spaniard Mariona Munne with a 3-2 set and an upset from 0-2. In the standings, Hujase Jaen is 9th with 6 points and seeks to stay in the top division.

In the Serbian Super League, Cekura made his debut with Ttc Josip Kolumbo in the away match against Yoka. Prevailing 4-2, her team caught Yoka in 5th place with 17 points after 12 matches. The Greek women’s doubles champion in 2018 scored a victory against a strong Serb and was defeated by a Hungarian athlete. The league has playoffs and the team’s goal is to reach the final. It should also be noted that the system for conducting each team match in the neighboring country is the same as in Greece. In other words, the winner is the team that reaches first in the four individual victories and at 3-3 a doubles match takes place.
