EUROPEAN COMPETITIONS

Portuguese teams will try next week, the continuity in the Challenge Cup 2011/2012.
Both teams lost at home yesterday but they can rectify the result and qualify for the eighth-finals if they win their two matches.

CD Ribeirense, women's national champion and winner of the Cup of Portugal, will travel to the Czech Republic next Tuesday, after losing yesterday by 1-3 (20/25, 25/19, 24/26 and 15/25) against the Kralovo Pole Brno.

AJ Fonte Bastardo, men's national champion, will travel to Poland on Wednesday, after losing against the Tytan AZS Czestochowa, by 0-3 (22/25, 22/25 and 25/27).

Better luck had the French Stade Poitevin Pro Volley-Ball of Andre Lopes, Carlos Teixeira and Nuno Pinheiro winning by 3-2 (25/16, 24/26, 25/22, 14/25 and 15/11) against Hachinger Generali (Germany) in the Pool D of the Champions League.
