The cadet handball team representing Montenegro commenced their journey at the Mediterranean Championship in Ankara with a loss.

The team, comprised of players born in 2006 and 2007, faced Kosovo and was defeated 23:20 (7:4, 12:9, 4:7), securing just one point out of a possible five.

Filip Božović stood out as the top scorer for Montenegro, netting five goals, followed by Dražen Peruničić and Petar Radoičić, who each contributed four goals.

Dario Maslovar and Mojaš Nikolić both found the back of the net three times, and Miroslav Dragović also contributed to the scoreline.

Montenegro is set to compete again today, facing France at 17:30.

This tournament serves as a valuable opportunity for the generation coached by Filip Popović and Draško Mrvaljević, as they prepare for the Under-18 European Championship scheduled to take place in Podgorica this August.
