Gorzow On Britsh Tour - 1977

[PolskiZuzel]

I am told that one of the best known Polish clubs, GORZOW, in early 1977 were visiting British tracks. They lost all the matches: against King's Lynn (52:28), Reading (47:31), Leicester (59:19), Hackney (56:22) and Exeter (57:21).

 

I was wondering. Is there anyone who (perhaps) could shed more light on these challenge matches.

Scorer's names would be most appreciated.

 

Many thanks in advance.

Zenon Plech had been drafted into the army before this tour and was unavailable, leaving Stal Gorzow very under strength. Only Ed Jancarz and Marek Cieslak were competitive.
