Romanian women’s handball club SCM Craiova on
Friday won the EHF Cup, the second most important European inter-club
competition. The team from Craiova, southern Romania, defeated Vipers Kristiansand
of Norway at home, 30-25, in the second leg of the final. In the first leg the
Norwegian team won 26-22.




Craiova secured the lead from the very
beginning. At half time SCM had a seven-goal advantage over Vipers. On minute
38 SCM were leading 24-15. The Norwegian team upped their game into the second
half, and cut the goal difference to only five goals before full time. If they
scored one more goal, they would have won the Cup. However, Craiova’s
goalkeeper, Yuliya Dumanska, had two important saves, thus bringing the trophy
to the Romanian side.




For her remarkable performance in the EHF Cup
final, we have designated SCM Craiova’s Yuliya Dumanska the Athlete of the Week
on Radio Romania International.


Yuliya Dumanska was born in Gorodenka, Ukraine,
on August 15, 1996. She started playing handball for the local team. Romanian
coaches Ion and Ioana Marta discovered her in 2011 and brought her to their
club, HCM Baia Mare. Dumanska played for HCM from 2012 to 2016, when she was
signed by SCM Craiova.




On May 5, 2016, during an event organised by the
Romanian Ministry of Youth and Sports, Yuliya Dumanska was awarded Romanian
citizenship. She was then called up to the Romanian women’s national team, for
which she has accumulated a total of 14 caps. Yuliya Dumanska also took part in
the World Handball Championships hosted by Germany in December 2017.
