Michał Winiarski enchanted at Wawel? It started that day!

The presence of Jurassic knights at the forefront of club volleyball in Poland and in the European yard is now nothing special. It must be admitted, however, that a very important moment in the club’s history took place in the capital of Lesser Poland in 2024. Just then, for the first time in history, the team from Zawiercie reached for the Tauron Polish Cup.

TAURON Polish Cup: Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie Trophy in Krakow

The 2023/24 season was very successful for Jurassic knights. In addition to success in the Tauron Arena in Krakow, Zawiercie also won the Polish runner -up. In the PlusLiga final, Jastrzębski Węgiel (currently functioning with the prefix JSW) turned out to be better. The silver album is the most valuable MP medal in the achievements of the team led by coach Michał Winiarski.

In addition, the Jurassic knights added a victory in the match about Al-Ko the Polish Super Cup. They are also the newly baked semi -finalists of the Champions League. The form of the club from Zawiercie in “Wprost” was appreciated by Ireneusz Kłos, a former Polish representative.

– Maybe I will surprise some, but the Polish champion will be Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie. I am like that. Michał Winiarski created a very interesting team and interesting how this team will manage both in the league, but also in the upcoming Polish Cup tournament and the best four in the Champions League. It promises to be a lot of interesting playing – said “Dzidek”, announcing a really successful end of the season for the wine team.

Will it actually be? The first exam is already on Saturday (i.e. April 12), late afternoon. The rival in the semi -final of the tournament in Krakow will be for the defenders of the title PGE Projekt Warszawa. A high -end opponent, looking at the league hierarchy. However, it seems that the Zawiercie team will be the favorite in the match near Wawel.

– They are definitely stronger. Just as we are stronger, in my opinion. I think that when the team can keep the same players for a longer period than one season, they always reach a higher volleyball level. When you add some good transfers to key players. I think they will definitely be a stronger opponent than they were last season. And a year ago we had a fierce match, despite the 3: 0 result. It has always been hard, so I do not expect anything less – said the playmaker of the title, Miguel Tavares, in an interview for the official website of Aluron CMC Warta.

ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle with a record. Who will win PP in 2025?

Looking at the story, the most triumphs in the struggles played since 1932-regularly appearing since the 1980/81 edition (with a one-year break due to the Covid-19 pandemic)-ten times were won by volleyballers from Kędzierzyn-Koźle. Until the past year (i.e. 2024) Zaksa had a great series of five wins (and four in a row) in six editions from the 2018/19 season.

In total, ZAKSA has 13 medals in their achievements, ten zlotys and three silver. On the podium of the medal classification of the PP of all time are additionally: the second AZS Olsztyn (seven zlotys, five silver) and Skra Bełchatów (seven zlotys, three silver).

Interestingly, the top ten will also have a place for the Krakow club. It is a steelwife in Kraków, winning three times. Currently, fans in Tauron Arena will not find the “host”, and in the case of Krakow triumphs, we are talking about old times. Hutnik volleyballers won in 1974 (still as Hutnik Nowa Huta), 1988 and 1990.
