There is quite a grievance about the two master plates, which were originally designed as a challenge trophy, but according to the agreement at the end of the 10th field Bundesliga season – which is the case now – will become the property of the record champions in this period. Nußbach’s women would land the fourth coup in a decade if they successfully defended their title in the final 3 on Friday (4.30 p.m.) and Saturday (3 p.m.) on the Marianum sports field in Freistadt and thus catch up with FBC Urfahr.
The men of the Union Compact Freistadt are currently 2:3 behind last year’s champions and Champions Cup triumphant Tigers Vöcklabruck and as a seeded finalist (against the Tigers or Enns) they are only one win away from equalizing. Human pranksters claim that when it comes down to it, you’ll have to cut the shells in half. But that doesn’t happen. The association is trying to find a Solomonic solution.
Excitement is guaranteed either way, ie an atmospheric event where a total of up to 1600 fans are expected. The hosts banged the advertising drum vigorously, in the meantime the interest was so great that the homepage collapsed. Freistadt chairman Karlheinz Kaufmann speaks with great anticipation. “We haven’t had a major outdoor fistball event in eleven years, it’s that time again.”
The conditions couldn’t have been much better. For the first time in history, an organizer is represented with two teams in a Final-3, for Freistadt’s women it is a first at the showdown. “Mega cool! Parents, friends, acquaintances – everyone will be there. Fistball is very big in Freistadt,” emphasized defender Antonia Woitsch before the semifinals on Friday (4:30 p.m.) against Seekirchen.
