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.

Matches counting towards the second leg of the EHF European League quarterfinals are scheduled at the weekend. In Buzau on Saturday, Dunărea Brăila take on Danish opponents Ikast. In the first leg, Ikast won, 32-30. On Sunday, SCM Râmnicu Vâlcea play a home game against German side Thüringer. We recall a week ago SCM sustained a 29-35 away defeat by Thuringer. The EHF European League’s final tournament is scheduled on May 3rd and 4th in Graz, Austria.

On Saturday and Sunday, the 3rd and 4th matches are scheduled, counting towards the Erste Liga regional ice hockey competition’s semi-finals.

The semis are played following the best-in-seven-games system.
