MK Holon surprised Hapoel Rishon LeZion

After a month and a half break, also following the closure, the handball Premier League was renewed tonight (Monday) with one big surprise. MK Holon, who is fighting for its place in the upper house, defeated the second in the table, Hapoel Rishon Lezion, 23:25.

Holon received four new-old players on its roster during the break: Nigerian midfielder Philipp Kahlo, and the three players from the youth team who returned from the Portugal project – Or Maman, Or Levy and Alon Shulman. The winner enjoyed a fantastic game by Aviad Ben Ziman. Rishon LeZion is recording a total second loss this season.

The perfect leader of the table, AS Ramat Hasharon, had no difficulty away against Hapoel Kiryat Ono, and walked with 25:36. The game was decided in the first half when Assaf Levy’s team went down to the break with a 10:20 advantage. Milan Pavlovic led with 8 goals, Eden Ginger added 5 and 10 assists. Tariq Ksumovich scored 8 goals for the loser.

Maccabi Rishon LeZion managed to leave Dimona with a difficult but important victory – 30:32. Yirmi Sidi led the winner with 10 goals, Tzach Malul added 4 and Branko Kankrash, the new acquisition, contributed 3. Dimona was led by Yotam Tal and Yuval Katz with 5 goals CA.

The last in the table, Urbani Rehovot, already thought they were recording a debut victory and first points of the season at the expense of Maccabi Kiryat Motzkin when they led them at the break 12:17, but a huge comeback by the guest led by Patrick Ubina, Alex Bushich and Amit Chamrinsky, turned the result.
