Kuwait city: Kuwait's Kazma marched their way to a commanding win over Syria's Al-Talia with a score line of 39-20 in Wednesday's action of the Arab club handball championship, which runs until September 22.
According to Kuwait News Agency, "The Orange," as the Kuwaiti club is christened, dominated proceedings from the get-go, thanks largely to the heroics of talisman Saleh Al-Ruqaib that earned them the victory and subsequent qualification to the next round.
More action is scheduled for later on Wednesday with a trio of games lined up, including Kuwait's Al-Sulaibikhat against Qatari side Qatar. In addition, there is a clash between Syria's Al-Shabab and Iraq's Naft Al-Basra, while another Baghdad-based outfit, Al-Hashid, takes on Egypt's Bank Al-Ahli.
