Big men back in town: Top basketball back in the capital in a double serving

Two Warsaw teams, Warbud-Polonia and Legia-Krolewskie, advanced to the men's basketball first division, or the Polish Basketball League (PLK), ending a five year drought during which Warsaw did not feature top basketball. Each year one top team from each of the two groups in the basketball second division, automatically advances to the first division. This year Warbud-Polonia won the Northern group by beating Rodex Bialystok 2-0 in a best-of-three final series, while Legia-Krolewskie dominated in the Southern group, beating Zaglebie Sosnowiec 2-1. Until now Warsaw basketball fans had to go to nearby Pruszkow to see first-division basketball, now they will have a wealth of choice. (Zycie, page 13) T.J.
