Malory men and women put in shade
They had to battle hard, especially in the first set, but IBB Polonia overcame Malory at home on Saturday to remain unbeaten in the league and stay top of the table. At the same time, Malory women were facing Orcas in Battersea and suffered the same fate in an even closer match as Orcas took the second place that was available to whichever side was to win.
