At the end, which included two overtimes and for the second time in its history, the Yellows celebrated after defeating the outgoing holder and city rival Hapoel Rishon LeZion 30:32 • Coach Gilad Maor: "I am happy, can not explain how much"


Maccabi Rishon LeZion was crowned tonight (Wednesday) the holder of the state women's handball cup for the second time in its history, after defeating the outgoing holder and city rival Hapoel Rishon LeZion 30:32, in a final that included two overtimes. 

Only last season was it Hapoel that celebrated the subdivision and won the cup in the municipal derby against Maccabi at the Heichal in Gan Nahum in Rishon LeZion, and as mentioned tonight it was painted red and yellow again. The opening was Hapoel's. With a goal by Shir and Karat - 22:23, but Nitzan Donai equalized 27 seconds to go and on the way to the first overtime. 

 Goals in the last minute of the first overtime, by Katrina Melnik and Amit Isaac - led to another overtime - 29:29.

In the second overtime, both teams struggled to score, but in the end Nitzan Donai and Daniela Dergojevic scored and set up 30:32, in a great and memorable game - which was also Hapoel's first loss of the season - leading the Athena League with the perfect balance of victories.

 Symbolically, on the occasion of International Women's Day last night, the Handball Association held a ceremony honoring Linoy Ashram, the gymnast and Olympic champion from Rishon LeZion, who herself is a handball fan, and among the trophy winners was the first Olympic medalist and chairwoman of the Olympic Committee, Yael Arad. 

 Maccabi Rishon LeZion coach Gilad Maor: "I am happy, I can not explain how much.

Celebrate here, my hall.

Hapoel is a huge group.

The opening was terrible.

"Then came our crazy defense. The handball industry is the most attractive and exciting industry there is, and the women are the best in handball this year. It's a game for the Pantheon and I'm glad I'm on the winning side. Congratulations to my first Maccabi girls."
