Poland into semi-finals

By doing so the national team secured promotion to the medal zone of the World League Final Six tournament.

Trainer Stéphane Antiga’s team now play Serbia on Friday. To take first place in the group Poland needs to win by at least two sets.

Poland began the Italy match as if it meant business, and carried on in the same vein for much of the rest of the match, winning 25:15, 27:25, 20:25, 25:20. (jh)
