Györ too strong again for Kastamonu
While FTC-Rail Cargo Hungaria ended their unbeaten run in the current DELO EHF Champions League season, fellow Hungarian team Györi Audi ETO KC maintained their perfect record.
Just like in the reverse fixture last week, Ambros Martin's team had no problems against Kastamonu Belediyesi GSK, this time handing them a 38:22 victory.

Kastamonu wait for victory goes on till 2022
Playing a debut season in the continental top flight, Kastamonu Belediyesi GSK have failed to impress so far, as the Turkish champions were unable to claim any points in the eight matches they played.
While their chances to reach the playoffs do not look good, they still exist, and in any case, Kastamonu will try hard to earn their maiden points at this level. But it may happen only in 2022, after the break caused by the 2021 World Championship.
First of all i want to say thank you to Kastamonu and Kastamonu for their nice welcoming and their atmosphere. It was very hard for them to play a team like us. But they fought till the end. We finished this year in a very good way.
With the wins that we get we had good transmitting among the team. We had a good synergy. I hope we can make it work till the end of the year.
