The Balkan Volleyball Association

Galatasaray ISTANBUL easily downed Crvena Zvezda BEOGRAD of Serbiain the first leg of action

for the Challenge Round of the 2012 CEV Volleyball Cup by scoring a home win in straight sets

(25-14, 25-19, 25-16) to wait now for the return game scheduled for next week in Serbia’s

capital city.

Last year’s queens of Vakifbank TTelekom are only one step away from another final four in

Europe’s most elitist competition and even though their opponent in the 1/4 finals, France’s

RC CANNES, is really strong, still the players and the local fans have their eyes already set

on the great finale in Baku, Azerbaijan.

The Senior Women of Crvena Zvezda from Belgrade won their 15th Cup title after beating NIS

Spartak from Subotica 3:0 (25-21, 25-20, 25-13) in the final match played in SRC “Kolubara” in

the City of Lazarevac.

While European Cups move along to the final stages, Balkan representatives will face with tough opponents in this week.
