The 2011/12 ECLW runner-up SVNO STROCK is ready to improve itself by one step in the upcoming season which starts on Friday but Schwechat side will play their first game next Monday against UCAM Cartagena (August 24th 19.00 CET).

„Our team is composed by three experienced players (HIRANO BILENKO and EKHOLM) and four youngsters (ZHANG RAKOVAC KHETKHUAN and MIGOT) who need to fight for their places in the matches against the best ones” stressed WSA Women Head Coach Neven CEGNAR who has won 32 medals with his players at both World and European Championships. „Our goals in the upcoming season is not a good result „at any price” but to promote our basic work: development of both women`s and men`s players who train and work in the WSA. Regarding that we will try to reach as much as best possible result respecting help and investment of our actual and future potential sponsors.”
