Having been following Bulgaria in volleyball for a few years now, this result will do their confidence a world of good. A walk over their Greek neighbours who are no mean team themselves was down to a brilliant all round team performance.
Bulgaria walked over Greece in straight sets 3-0 (25-12, 25-14, 25-11) with fantastic play in all elements of the game.
In this Balkan clash for the 2009 Women’s European League in Gabrovo Bulgarian libero Mariya Filipova was the heroine of the day as her brilliant digs created a real spectacle for the crowd in the stands.
All players of the home team, however, deserve applause for keeping their focus on the victory against a team that seemed a little lost today.
Radosveta Teneva-Milichevich became the game’s top scorer with 14 points, while Evangelia Chantava scored 8 points for Greece.
