Tatran have, after Zagreb, once again proved to be in great form in a match against Maks Strumica in Prešov. Another match with big quality difference between teams, training for Slovak champions against Macedonians who obviously did not take long journies in last two days so well. For final 44:18 remarkable Antl scored 17 goals from 18 attempts (SEHA record), Hrstka added 10. They have combined for more goals than all Strumica' players have scored which says much for itself.

In the next round Tatran will travel to Subotica to meet Spartaka and on the same day Maks will play Borac in Banja Luka.

Marjan Andonov, Maks Strumica´s coach:

- I want to congratulate Tatran Prešov on a deserved victory. We have really huge problems with injured players, we lost other three players in Našice. Tonight we have had only ten players on the roster. Tatran were big favorites of the game, but if we had a full team available before the game, it would be more interesting match for the fans in the stands. I wish Tatran all the best in SEHA League and Champions League.

Aleksandar Boseovski, Maks Strumica´s left wing:

- I also want to congratulate Tatran on playing a great game. We have really big injury problems. We have only several players who are healthy and prepared to play games. We could not do anything with the game, our strength was highly limited. The result reflects today´s quality on the court.

Rastislav Trtik, Tatran´s coach:

- We confirmed the role of favorites in the game. We enjoyed the game and won by huge goal difference. We managed to entertain our fans once again. Three weeks ago we had similar problems as Strumica have today, we missed six backs in the Champions League and SEHA League. Now we are getting better slowly, players are coming back to the team. We play better and better. We are in a good form after beating PPD Zagreb. Unfortunately, now we will have an international break. I believe we will be able to continue to play very good games after coming back from international duties.

Vladimir Božič, Tatran´s goalkeeper:

- We played really good game. It is not always easy to concentrate on the game properly. We dominated the entire game. In the second half we defended in an excellent way and allowed only two goals in 25 minutes. We played very well and got in a good form before the international break. Now some of us will be able to have a rest for one week. I hope no one will get injured in international teams and they will come back healthy, because we need to prepare thoroughly for the Champions League game versus Porto. It is very important to win this game in the Champions League, we need to take two points.
