The 2nd round games in the lower house of the women’s Premier League were played last weekend, when Maccabi Raanana defeated KK Tel Aviv in the “Bells” hall, and the Nazareth girls left Hod Hasharon with an important victory. In the final game of the men’s Premier League, Hapoel Kfar Saba defeated MS Eilabun.

Maccabi Raanana looked great and recorded a second consecutive victory in the lower house games. After losing the first set against KK Tel Aviv, the team rose from the Sharon and won all three subsequent sets on the way to a big victory. For Tel Aviv, this is the second loss in a row.

Kfar Saba looks in excellent shape ahead of the playoffs and the quarterfinals of the State Cup that will begin this week. On the other hand, Eilabun will have to improve towards the continuation of the league, despite a good second set in Kfar Saba.
