History

edit

The creation of the handball division dates back to 1947, when Pogoń Zabrze, founded in 1945, decided to create a handball division in addition to football and gymnastics. The creator of Pogoń handball was Józef Cholewa.[1] In 1959, Pogoń's handball players were promoted to the first league and finished 6th in their debut season. In the 1966/1967 season, the club won the bronze medal of the Polish championship. Then the club was relegated from the first division. In the years 1973–2000, he played again in the first league. In the 1975/1976 and 1978/1979 seasons, he won a silver medal in the Polish championship. 1984 and 1988, the team won the Polish Cup. In the 1988/1989 season, the team took 2nd place in the table behind Wybrzeże Gdańsk. In the final of the championship, they defeated the favorite team from Gdańsk 2:1, thereby becoming the Polish champion. The members of the championship team: Piotr Bar, Roman Honysa, Antoni Parecki, Waldemar Strzelec (goalkeepers), Grzegorz Bil, Szymon Dobrzyński, Jarosław Frąckowiak, Zygfryd Jędrzej, Jacek Kalisz, Marek Kąpa (captain), Piotr Konitz, Wincenty Markowski, Ryszard Masłoń, Robert Niedźwiedzki, Wojciech Piątek, Leszek Sadowy, Andrzej Staszewski.
