After the 2012 European Championships, the Greek league continued last Thursday already with the eleventh round. In the most important match of the game day Olympiacos beat Panionios 21-5 but the LEN Trophy finalist from last year played with only youth players, due to team’s economical problems and the refusal of the most senior players to play. In the other games, Chios gained an easy 13-6 against Ethnikos at Piraeus, whille Vouliagmeni added three more points winning 16-2 against Palaio Faliro. Moreover, Panathinaikos came closer to the first four teams of the ranking defeating Chania 11-5 at the pool of OACA. Meanwhile, Argostoli kept on having excellent performances and added one more valuable win against Kalamaki, with PAOK won away at NC Patras 11-6 and made an important step to remain in the first division.All the results from the 11th leg of Greek Championships waterpolo men (2/2/2012):
