Olkusz Women — Zory Women: 27:32, Central League Women

Zorya Women beat Olkusz 32-27 in the Central League on Thursday evening, completing a winning start to their campaign. The hosts had taken two draws from their opening two matches before falling to their first defeat. Zorya, who sat top of the table, moved further clear at the summit with six points from two games.

Olkusz had been difficult to break down in their previous outings, losing narrowly to Kielce and drawing both of their other matches. To be fair, they showed resilience against Zorya's pace, but could not match the visitors' efficiency when it mattered. And here's the thing — the gap in quality showed when Zorya found their rhythm in the second half.

The visitors' form has been impressive. They beat Markovia 32-23 and have won both Central League matches so far. Their recent results include a victory over Radom and two games against Sosnica Gliwice, though one ended in a narrow defeat. By then, Zorya had established themselves as the side to beat in the division.

Olkusz's record now sits at 0 points from two matches, while Zorya's six points put them clear at the top. The result extends Zorya's winning run and marks Olkusz's first loss this season. The hosts will need to regroup if they want to climb from tenth place.
