The matches of the 4th matchday in the A2 national category brought down the curtain in the evening on the activity of Saturday 09/11 in the table tennis hall of the Peace and Friendship Stadium. The program included meetings of first places and other strong matches, which created interest. In men’s A2, AO Xylokastro and ASEA Kefalonia & Ithaki extended their winning streak for the 4th match. In fact, the Ionian team interrupted the undefeated run of DAO Tavros, who is at the top because they played another match today. In the A2 women’s division, Tataula and DAO Tavrou had a positive result in the 4th matchday and are still going hand in hand at the top of the standings.
In the men’s A2, DAOT initially defeated Phoinikas Piraeus 4-0 (in a match of the 6th matchday, which took place today) and went with the ultimate victory in the top derby with ASEA Kefalonia & Ithaki. The latter had the odds on his side and confirmed it with a score of 4-2 making it 4 out of 4.
Yannis Vlotinos and Bosnian Lukas Mihailovic each scored two victories, while for DAOT the Bulgarians Petko Gabrovski and Alexandros Alexopoulos each had one victory.
