In the final match the UNWE male team and its coach Larisa Kasabova played against the team of Sergi again. Our boys defeated firmly the hosts of Sergi with difference of 14 scores due mostly to the team game and excellent play of Dian Abrashev and Matey Mitev as well as to the traditionally strong play of Ventsislav Manuilov and the rest players.
