In the end there was a 6:8 win against defending champions Galaxy Vienna in the final and the 16th runner-up title for the Mühlviertel Judo Center.
“Unfortunately we were not rewarded”said Mühlviertel coach Georg Reiter after the Final Four yesterday in Gmunden. According to the 36-year-old, it annoys him, on the one hand because they were so well positioned, and on the other hand because they felt disadvantaged in the possibly title-deciding fight between Helfenberg’s Michael Pröll and Bernd Fasching (up to 81 kilos).

As bitter as the final was, the semi-final was just as sweet – at least from the Mühlviertel perspective: against the actually favored local rival Multikraft Wels, the UJZ was ahead with 8:6 – also because the Messestadt residents Shamil Borchashvili (sick) and Daniel Leutgeb (injured). ) were missing. “So the result is okay”congratulated Wels coach Manfred Dullinger, who will retire as coach after next season.
The porcelain trophies that were awarded to the teams were destined for a short life: the champion’s trophies broke after just ten minutes (see first video). The Mühlviertel Cup survived at least until late into the night. Equestrian: “Then each of the fighters took a piece of broken glass and kept it.”
