Commercecon jump to the top of the standings in Poland

ŁKS Commercecon Łódź jumped to the top of the table in the Polish Women’s Tauron Liga this weekend, during the seventh leg of the regular season in the country.

With then-leaders PGE Grot Budowlani Łódź out of action this weekend (their match against BKS BOSTIK ZGO Bielsko-Biała will be held in December), Commercecon and KS DevelopRes Rzeszów didn’t waste the opportunity, winning their matches and moving up to first and second in the standings.
