Four Romanian teams this coming weekend will prove their mettle in European women’s handball competitions. In a second-leg confrontation CSM Bucharest play Rapid Bucharest on Saturday, in the playoffs counting towards a place in the Champions League’s quarterfinals. Just like in the first leg of the tie, the match will be hosted by Bucharest’s largest indoor arena, the ”Ioan Kunst-Ghermănescu” Multi-Purpose Sports Hall. We recall this past Saturday CSM trounced Rapid Bucharest, 34 to 24.
