Vardar won the SEHA regional handball league on Sunday, after beating Hungarian Veszprem in the finals 26 to 21. Playing in Brest in Belarus, the two teams were tied at the halftime, but dominated in the second, denying the Hungarians any hope of taking the title.
This is the third time Vardar won the SEHA league. “We are happy with our performance, considering we played against one of the top teams in Europe. But we managed to remain one step ahead of them at all times. We had an excellent defense which they couldn’t push through, and played cleverly on the offense. I think we surprised them in the way we positioned our defense”, said Spanish player Joan Canellas, who was made the MVP of the finals, as well as part of the All Star team.
Three other Vardar players were admitted in the All Star team – Timur Dibirov, Ivan Cupic and Vuk Borozan.
