Premiere with a win for the National Women’s Handball Team. The representative group defeated Great Britain 20-17 in Lithuania for the first matchday of the 2025 World Championship qualifiers and took a qualification step.
The representative group did their duty against the weakest team in the group and on Sunday at 16:00 they will give everything for the qualification against the “host”, Lithuania.
Greece prevailed more easily than the final score shows, after leading by +8 in the 40th minute, with Andritsou as the top scorer with 8 goals.
“We weren’t in a good day, we tried to find a rhythm and, like that, we lost a half. We had a big miss from 6m, which shouldn’t happen tomorrow. We only keep the two points and some good intervals. The game against Lithuania will be very difficult. They have leveled up with their new manager and are playing at home with all that entails. We will do our best, knowing the difficulties we have to overcome”, emphasized the federal coach, Menelaos Danilos.
