After the semi-finals of the State Cup, held at "Gan Nahum" in Israel, it was determined that Hapoel Ashdod, the current holder of the State Cup, will meet Maccabi Rishon Lezion in the final that awaits Israeli handball on March 27, as part of a double show with the women's final between Hapoel Israel and Maccabi RG.
It will absolutely not be another final - because the traveling Ashdod has the possibility of winning the state cup for the third time in a row, after in recent years it has become a devourer of titles.
Maccabi Rashel is returning to the finals, and will try to make amends - after two years ago - in the last meeting between the two in the finals - Ashdod beat them in overtime 29:30 with a winning goal by Omri Kushmaro.
By the way, a win by Ashdod will make an interesting distribution of wins in the last decade - it will be able to compare the balance of wins to the first two (they won 3 21) when one final was canceled under the auspices of the Corona virus.

It continued in a super intriguing battle between Ashdod and the leader of the Winner League, Hapoel Rashalz, the most decorated club in the history of Israeli handball, which tried to return to the final for the first time since the 2017-18 season - the last successful season in which the team won the double under Idan Maimon. In the end, Ashdod won and achieved the second ticket to the final.
