Olštyn secured a convincing 39-27 win against SMS ZPRP Płock in the Polish First League on Saturday afternoon. The visitors had already been clear favourites on paper, sitting third in the table with twelve points from five games, while the hosts languished at the bottom with none.
The result extends Olštyn's impressive start to the campaign. They have now won four of their five matches, with only one draw to their name. Their away performance at Płock was clinical, and they showed no signs of easing off until the final whistle.
We had tipped the visitors to win with 61 per cent confidence before kick-off, and that assessment proved accurate. Olštyn found their rhythm early and kept up the pressure throughout. Płock simply could not match the quality on display.
For the home side, the defeat continues a pattern of inconsistency. They have drawn every game so far, but those draws have brought zero points under the current system. Five matches and still searching for their first victory.
The gap between the two sides in the table is now significant. Olštyn sit third with twelve points, while Płock remain rooted to the foot of the standings. The visitors will hope to keep this momentum going as the season progresses.
