We begin
\nwith the latest from volleyball. Romania’s title holders Arcada Galati have advanced to the round of 32 as part of the CEV Cup in men’s volleyball.
\nArcada have advanced to the Cup’s next stage, even though the Romanian squad this
\npast Wednesday sustained a 2-3 defeat by Serbian team Radnicki Kragujevac, in a return-leg fixture
\ncounting towards CEV Cup’s preliminary round. We recall Arcada secured a
\n3-nil win in the first leg. In the return leg, Arcada even had a match ball,
\nwhen the scoreboard displayed a 16-15 tie-break advantage, but the Romanians wasted
\nthe opportunity to capitalize on that, so the Serbian team eventually came from
\nbehind and won, 18-16. In the round of 32, Arcada Galati are pitted against Bulgarian
\nopponents Neftohimik Burgas.<\/p>\n
