"Enter the Dragon" by the newcomer from Urzejowice. Impressive triumphs for Orzeł, Czuwaj, and Sokół

Contents

Przemyśl is difficult to categorize clearly next season, so any claims that they might be in contention for promotion should be put on hold. Przeworsk, on the other hand, is likely aiming for a quick return to the fourth-league ranks. This season, it won't be easy, as their serious opponents undoubtedly include another relegated team from the fourth Podkarpackie league, Sokół Sieniawa. Who knows, perhaps this team isn't the biggest favorite? So far, they've won impressively on a difficult pitch in Święte. Another candidate to shake things up is, of course, the reserve team of third-league Pogoń-Sokół Lubaczów. If they sign players from the first team, they could see a repeat of last season, when KS Wiązownica-Wisłoczanka Tryńcza used a similar tactic. Fenix Leszno came close to surprising themselves and their fans, narrowly missing out on defeating the already strong Piast Tuczempa on their home turf. The result in Pruchnik isn't entirely surprising. In theory, Start, under new coach Krzysztof Jędruch, was a slight favorite, but it's important to remember that Orzeł Torki has been reinforced with three valuable players who played for Polonia Przemyśl last season: Piotr Kuźniar, Jakub Konowalik, and Kacper Tarnawski. The latter gave Orzeł Tarnawski all three points. Another newcomer, Czarni Pawłosiów, enjoyed a successful opening season.

It was a very good match for Marek Rybkiewicz's team. It's worth noting that it was against a difficult opponent who had shown their strengths last season. They started this campaign primarily without Łukasz Gaweł and Kacper Najsarek, but with a few reinforcements, perhaps the most important of which, Alan Nowogrodzki from Płomień Morawsko, who was one of the league's best players in the spring round of last season, was unable to play against Czuwaj.

But even his presence in the lineup probably wouldn't have made much difference. The Przemyśl team were the clear masters of the match, controlling it from start to finish. They quickly established themselves with a goal from Hubert Świecarz, who finished off Kamil Podbilski's shot, and doubled the lead after just over half an hour. Mateusz Świst was assisted by new signing Tomasz Żołyński. He and Błażej Demeńczuk, who came on after the break, blended in perfectly. In the second half, the visitors controlled the game. Maciej Fudali, the most effective defender in the league last season (along with Piotr Kuźniar from Polonia Przemyśl), scored twice. These were two exceptional goals, in honor of their future offspring, who will soon be born. Congratulations!

"I thank the team for their commitment and fight. We had this match under control from the start, and the result reflects how it unfolded. I'm very happy that the new players have settled in so well. We're continuing to work for more victories."

Relegated from the 4th Podkarpackie League, the team entered the season with a completely rebuilt squad. Most players left the team, but that doesn't mean Orzeł, under Arkadiusz Kiszka, won't be a factor in the final game. Quite the opposite, as Orzeł are one of the favorites this season and are hoping for a quick return to the 4th league ranks. Two recent transfers will help in this regard – the addition of Patryk Pakuła and Rafał Dusiła from JKS Jarosław significantly strengthened their firepower. This was confirmed by their performance against last season's 5th district league champions, KS Wiązownica-Wisłoczanka Tryńcza, in which the duo scored three of Przeworsk's five goals. The Tryńcza team, featuring only two players over the age of 22, provided a mere backdrop for the hosts, who sealed the deal within the first 45 minutes. They had a great time in the second half, holding their opponents to just one goal. However, they could have scored a few more if they wanted to. It's worth noting that a large bench includes juniors. Tymon Kukla, Karol Łuczejko, and Karol Ochyra all got significant minutes in this match.

Goals: 0:1 Owarzany 17th min, 1:1 Glushko 25th min, 2:1 Glushko 43rd min, 2:2 Right Leg 89th min.

Paweł Lechociński's team came very close to a brilliant start to the season, but they were just a few minutes away from perfection. It's safe to say that a win for the newcomers would have been well-deserved. And this against no mean feat: the unpredictable and unpredictable Piast Tuczempa, who fought for a podium finish last season.

The hero of Feniks was Łukasz Głuszko. A player who had been converted from a striker to a defender, but whose sniping skills remained. A player who is an absolute legend of the Leszno club, scoring numerous important goals at various levels over the past decade or so. The hosts initially treated their opponent with respect, who capitalized on this, taking the lead through Grzegorz Owarzany's goal. But the further they went, the less pressure there was. The newly promoted team became a match for the popular "Piaścik" side. They went into the locker room with the lead, and Ł. Głuszko stung the visitors twice. The match was evenly matched for almost the entire second half. However, in the closing stages, the visitors' experience and cunning prevailed. In the 89th minute, the old fox Rafał Noga capitalized on a vacillation in Feniks' defense to equalize the score.

Goal: 1-0 Wilk 42nd min.
Black: Bobowicz – Błonarowicz (6. Kucab), D. Bednarz, Olszański, Wilk – Woś, Rychtyk, Zawada (75. Duliban) – Bogacz, Wańkowicz (46. Kowal), Prawecki (60. H. Bednarz).
Wólczanka: Mikus – Machała (83. Ostrowski), Gliniany, Walczak, Michalski – Zarębiński, Sierżęga (68. Kubrak), Jadownicki (55. Cisek), Sawa – Prisekin, K. Pietluch.
Referee: Grzegorz Szpilka (Przemyśl). Yellow cards: H. Bednarz, Kowal, Walczak and Sawa. Attendance: 400.

It was a close derby between teams that had been rebuilt before the season. Arguably stronger than the previous season. Bogusław Sierżęga took over Wólczanka, while Pawłosiów is still managed by club legend Roman Wawrzynkiewicz.

The only goal came late in the first half, when Sebastian Bogacz crossed the ball into the penalty area from a free kick, and Mateusz Wilk outpaced the Wólka Pełkińska defenders and headed past Andrzej Mikus with a fine shot. Both teams created several chances to score more goals, but lacked composure and luck in the final moments.

Goals: 1:0 Bochnak 10th min, 2:0 Bochnak 15th min, 3:0 Dzimira 25th min, 3:1 M. Pindak 35th min, 4:1 Bochnak 43rd min, 4:2 Broda 54th min, 5:2 Artur Kondracki 66th min, 6:2 Drabik 75th min, 7:2 Drabik 85th min.

The newcomer from Urzejowice made a fantastic start to the season. Promyk snuffed out Płomień like a match, playing an excellent match. There was never a moment when the team, led by player-coach Albert Kondracki, felt threatened. Dawid Bochnak ensured this, scoring twice after just fifteen minutes at the Promyk Arena. Dominik Dzimira added the third moments later. While Miłosz Pindak scored the goal that gave Płomień hope, the home side's response was ruthless, thanks, of course, to D. Bochnak, who completed a hat-trick after 45 minutes. There was no doubt in the second half. The incredibly solid and effective Paweł Drabik crushed the visitors, and in the meantime, Artur Kondracki also scored.
