Coach speaking:
It's a mix of relief, excitement, and pure adrenaline. As my first game in charge, I was nervous going in, but seeing the team fight through every point in that 3-2 thriller makes it unforgettable.
What’s 1 thing you’re proud of and one thing you know still needs work? Proud of our resilience—we never quit, even when down. But our team connections was shaky in spots; we need to tighten that up to avoid giving opponents easy points. It's fixable, and we'll drill it tomorrow.
What message would you like to send to Polonia supporters?
Thank you for believing in us from day one. This gritty 3-2 win is just the start—your passion fueled it, and we'll keep fighting to make you proud. Stick with us; bigger battles and bigger victories are coming.
Long night in London but a happy one. Our first match of the season goes our way. IBB Polonia - Bristol VC 3:2 (25:16, 19:25, 23:25, 28:26, 20:18) Great to be back - thank you fans! Next home game: 15.11. #GoPolonia
