NEP advanced to the second phase of the playoffs of the A2 National Men’s Polo Championship, as it also defeated the team of the same name in Ilioupoli and… “wiped” the series with 2-0 victories. The players of Makis Lykoudis, having their psychology high following their last impressive performances, were constantly in front of the score, while at the end they showed character, when the home team attempted the last counterattack (the “dolphins” led 7-5 at the start of the last period).
Referees: Daskalopoulou-Antzoulakos. 8 minutes: 2-3, 2-2, 1-2, 3-2. The goals of Ilioupoli: Halaris 2, Tzedopoulos 1, Hatzis 1, Noikos 2, Spetsas 1, Efstathiou 1.
NEP: Mavriopoulos, Lykoudis 3, Harrison, Salpoglou, Tsipis, Karaiskos 1, Trasai 3, Konstantakopoulos 2, Papageorgiou, Karras, Antiochos, Pitsikas, Dragonas, Avagianos, Giannakopoulos.
Now, promotion to A1 National will be played in the new series with the winner of Ionikos Nikias or Aris, which is at 1-1 and leads to the third and final midweek game (Thursday 11/4) in Thessaloniki. Whichever team from the two NEP plays will have the home advantage.
