Berlin hosts first MOTW of 2013

The first ehfTV.com Match of the Week in the new year could hardly wish better settings. The sold-out O2 World in Berlin with 13.000 spectators, two elite European teams and seven recently crowned world champions will host the first 2013 piece of the attractive MOTW series with English commentary by Tom Ó Brannagáin.

But the remaining two encounters in the last two rounds will not be less exciting. In Round 9 Tom will head to Germany again to witness the Group B "clash of titans" THW Kiel vs. MKB Veszprém KC (Sunday, 17 February, 19:00) and in Round 10 he will visit the match Gorenje Velenje vs. KS Vive Targi Kielce, (Saturday, 23 February, 16:30), what could turn into a first place race in Group C.

Tom´s travel schedule in this season is not going to conclude after the completion of the Group Phase as four more Matches of the Week will follow in the Last 16 phase and in the Quarter-finals.
