Estonian handball clubs lose in European Cup round of 32
In the European Cup handball round of 32, Estonia's Mistra were eliminated by Finnish champions BK-46, while Serviti lost the first leg to Israel's Holon.
Two Estonian handball clubs played in the round of 32 of the European Cup on Saturday, 24 October. This is a European club handball competition in which winners advance to the next round. Both Estonian teams lost.
Serviti, from the town of Põlva, lost at home to Israel's Holon 26:30 (10:14 at half-time). The return match will again be held in Põlva on Sunday, 25 October.
Tallinn side Mistra lost 24:29 (13:16 at half-time) on home court to BK-46, the reigning champions of Finland. Arno Vare was the best performer for the Estonian team, scoring five goals.
Mistra out of the competition
This was the return leg, as a week earlier Mistra had already lost away 22:28. The Estonian club was therefore eliminated from the European Cup.
BK-46, which is third in the Finnish national championship, will continue in European competition. Mistra will carry on their season in the Estonian championship and the Baltic League.
