Starting line-up of the fifth match day

On Saturday the fifteenth and Sunday the sixteenth of November, the fifth match day of the Sportklub First Men’s Volleyball League was played.

i-Vent Maribor remain undefeated in the national league, which is somewhat surprising. For the second match in a row, the Maribor side managed to win in the closing stages of sets – something that, this season, Panvita Pomgrad simply cannot make work for them when it comes to tight set finishes. Calcit Volley suffered their first defeat, and that despite having a chance to turn the match around only in the third set. Črt Bošnjak simply could not do everything on his own. The blocking line of Alpacem Kanal’s coach, Gregor Jerončič – once an outstanding middle blocker himself – performed excellently. Fužinar Ravne comfortably defeated Merkur Triglav Kranj in the bottom-of-the-table derby, securing their first points of the season. After Thursday’s Champions League drama, ACH Volley Ljubljana still allow no surprises in the domestic league: the Ljubljana side saw off a solid Krka in straight sets. Half of ACH’s key players were rested, their minds clearly already on the next and decisive round of Champions League qualification.
