Poland - Italy (SET 1,2)

Poland’s Volleyball family continues to march from triumph to triumph and their future perspectives look extremely bright, even more after their men’s U19 national team claimed gold at their age-group European Championship as the competition came to a close in Sakarya. Poland beat Italy 3:1 (25:15, 25:13, 25:27, 25:22) in a remake of the match these teams had contested in Group I at the very beginning of the tournament. This is Poland’s second title in the competition following their gold medal performance from the 2005 edition. Poland have so far claimed eight medals in this competition, with gold in 2005 and 2015, silver in 2001, 2003, 2007 and 2013 and bronze in 1995 and 1997. Sebastian Pawlik, coach of Poland said: "I feel great. Congrats to my players as they had an amazing European Championship and played really good. Today our good serve made the difference especially in the first and second sets. I didn’t expect a game like this but Italy showed their great class after that and gave us a very hard fight. To win this European Championship is a great success for Volleyball in Poland. I think many people were watching us".
