This weekend Astana is playing away with Kostanay «Tobol».
«Tobol» was founded in 2003. During this time, the club once became the champion of Kazakhstan (season 2003/04) and the winner of the National Cup (2005).
Now the head coach of the team is 41-year-old specialist Timur Sultanov, and one of the leaders is 33-year-old center Anton Bykov (he averages 21 points per game and makes 11.5 rebounds per game). «Tobol» occupies the second place in the National League table, having won three times in four matches.
A farm team went to Kostanay, reinforced by some players from the main squad. This happened due to the packed calendar of games: on Monday, Oleg Kiselev's team will meet Loko in Krasnodar.
«The team safely reached Kostanay; everything is going according to plan. Askar Maidekin, Ruslan Aitkali, and Andrey Litvinenko went with us from the main team. All the other players are young, but they have already shown good performance playing for the farm team.»
«We are very determined and getting ready to show character and fight for every ball!» said the head coach of the farm team Mikhail Lonshakov.
The matches will occur on October 29 and 30 on the floor of Sports Complex «KOSTANAY,» both games start at 18:00 Astana time.
You can watch the matches on the club's official website.
