The first two rounds of the Russian Championship gave Gazprom-Yugra the opportunity to replenish their points reserve, ahead - a battle test in Novy Urengoy. Save Fakel-Yamal its last year’s leaders, Babkevich with Dineikin, and we could talk about this team’s claims to a place in the top four. However, human resources potential, annually replenished by our own talented youth, still allows Novy Urengoy residents to stay afloat Read more »

The hosts appeared on the site, without really waking up: 0:3 on the pitches of Chess. Then the sleep became deep, 9:14 – the result of three breaks of the guests with an ace from Spodobets in the endgame. Papazov heroically took off on an emergency ball from the fourth zone, but in general Kirillov seemed to have forgotten about his diagonal in the opening set. "Oilman", however, also far from ideal: Sventitskis doesn't always get in tempo with the strikers, what, in particular, allowed Beskrovny and Kurbatov to take two pipes with a block. Ace Rudneva, out of the square, reduces the distance to three points, 16:19, blocking Khlyakin in the fourth zone practically eats up the gap, 19:20. In the next game the hosts had several chances to level the score, but Masko doesn’t score from Kirillov’s blocked pass. Khlyakin hits the antenna - video viewing records the Gazprom-Yugra player’s transition to the center line a moment earlier, 19:22. The chances are over, Safonov puts the point, 21:25.

Our opponent in the second round is Neftyanik from Orenburg. The calendar at the start of the championship allows Gazprom-Yugra to gain points, what you should definitely use. At the same time, it would not be superfluous to remember, that last year Neftyanik left Surgut with a clean sheet to its name: that is, you need to prepare seriously and treat your opponent with all respect.

The first match of the Russian Championship turned out to be very tense, despite the home team's shutout victory. In the first set, the Surgut team’s own mistakes did not allow them to make a headway in the score. Moreover, Papazov's attack to block and Skvortsov's attack determined some superiority of MSTU by the middle of the set, 13:15. It was possible to catch up only on Papazov’s serve – Purin took the side of the Surgut team, the ball fell into contact with the line, 23:23. Purin corrected himself and brought the first set point to MSTU, Piskarev - second, but Skvortsov and Masko were not allowed further. In a chaotic rally, Kirillov took the initiative and scored with his second touch, 26:25. The hosts' first set point was converted on a high ball by Masko, after the team fought off Purin's attack from the second zone, 27:25.

so, we are starting our 22nd season in the Super League. About the same - almost 20 years – our current opponent was not in the Super League, capital MSTU. First, just a second, champion of Russia of the 21st century! Another interesting fact: for the last time within the framework of the Russian Championship "Gazprom-Yugra" and MSTU (then ZSK-Gazprom and MSTU-Luzhniki) met in Surgut almost exactly Read more »
