Prvi dan predtekmovanja deževne razmere / First day of pool plays in rainy conditions
Murska Sobota, 1. september – Prvi dan srednje-evropskega pokala v odbojki na mivki je minil v deževnih razmerah, ki so še ravno omogočale igranje odbojke na mivki. Dekleta so igrala v štirih skupinah in odigrala že tudi prvi dve četrtfinalni tekmi, fantje so odigrale vse tekme v treh skupinah. Pri fantih sta ekipi Možič/Travnik in Rozman/Šen zmagali v svoji skupini. Izmed pomurskih ekip sta posebno vabilo z drugim mestom in uvrstitvijo v četrtfinale upravičila tudi Kovačič/Stvarnik.
Pri dekletih smo videli nekaj izjemno zanimivih dvobojev. Že uveljavljena ekipa sester Kuhar je z izjemno končnico v drugem nizu drugega dvoboja skupine A premagala par iz Češke republike, in si tako zagotovila prvo mesto v skupini. Še dve ekipi iz Slovenije sta zmagali v svoji skupini in sicer Zbičajnik/Marolt ter Špoljarič Babnik/Jeglič. V skupini C sta pri dekletih prvo mesto osvojili Matusina/Dugandžić iz Hrvaške.
Mladi tekmovalci in tekmovalke nadaljujejo s tekmovanjem v soboto, 2. septembra, ko bodo odigrali za razvrstitve od 5. do 12. mesta ter v popoldanskih urah seveda tudi polfinalne in finalne dvoboje.
