In addition, coach Gilad Maor apparently made history in Israeli sports, winning a double with both the men's team of Maccabi Rishon LeZion (last decade) and the women's team of the club, which some of the players who led the team to titles he also grew from childhood and won titles with.
"Maor concluded at the end:" We made a triple, in front of the verb that we gave everything they have.
This is a 10 year round of a girls project.
There are girls here who took doubles with me as girls.
I have never dreamed of such a game, let alone against such a large team.
There's something satisfying - 10 years ago was my last championship.
In the summary of the series - to play within 3 days of such a quality handball, the verb came to fight.
"We did all the obstacles as much as possible, but we are a team."
