Finally, next Sunday A hosts the playoffs for the first class of men of Western Greece in Patras.
The local Cup of Attica will claim the first two favorites of this year’s event. Panathinaikos proceeded as number 1 and is therefore facing AEK at home. The final begins at 12:00, it will take place on Alexandra Avenue, but not in the Panathinaikos coaching room, but in the “Indian tomb”.
In the knockout Panathinaikos had a “bye” in the first round and then excluded AO Aris 2006 with a 4-0 and Panionios, also 4-0.
AEK from the dashboard base passed “bye” to the octave, there he paid GAO Piraeus 4-1 and in the semifinals of Espero Kallithea without a race.
The hosts want to give a festive tone to the match and with videos and posts have called for people to come to the gym. Of course, in the distant but also a nearby past, table tennis have been held in this area, last two and a half years ago for Europe by the Panathinaikos women’s team.
Panathinaikos comes from the big derby with Olympiacos for the 14th Men’s A1 match. On Thursday, all his Greek athletes will have at his disposal (Gionis, Angelakis, K. Konstantinopoulos, G. Constantinopoulos) and will only be missing the Spanish Robels.
The third trio forms the third in the regular season of the championship, AEK, as he is expected to line up Madessi, Swedish Arvindson and Bulgarian Alexandrov (Hungarian Zoudi and Sweden Hort).
