THE HANDBALL TEAM
Paris Saint-Germain Handball will be getting their week underway with a European tie, as Les Rouge et Bleu, who are currently fourth in Group A of the EHF Champions League with 11 points, take on Macedonian side RK Eurofarm Pelister – who, in contrast, sit rock bottom of the group after losing all ten of their games so far – at 18:45 this Thursday (Matchday 11) at Boro Čurlevski Sports Hall.
Our handballers, who lead the way in the Liqui Moly StarLigue with 16 wins from as many games, will then face 15th-placed Saran Loiret Handball at 20:00 three days later at the CO'Met in Orléans on Matchday 17, with the aim of keeping up their 100% record domestically.
