Sportklub CEFL
is going toward its final stages in the season 2019. The finals of
both our competitions, the Championship
and the Cup,
will be played on the weekend of 8/9 June. All arrangements have been
made and we can finally make the announcements.
Xenith CEFL Bowl
XIV, as the pinnacle of this season,
will be played on Sportplatz Ringstrasse
in Chur, Switzerland on Saturday,
8 June, with the kickoff at 18:00
CET. The home team, Calanda
Broncos will host the two-time and
current champions, Swarco Raiders Tirol.
The Broncos were the
newcomer in the league this season. They’ve played in the Eastern
Conference of the Championship with
three other teams, slating wins against each of them. They’ve
traveled to Wrocław
first to face the Panthers
and took home a 27-3 victory. Then they greeted Turkish champion
Istanbul Koç Rams
and handily defeated them, 55-17. Lastly, Serbian top team,
Kragujevac Wild Boars
visited them last weekend, but the Broncos scraped through, 37-33.
The Raiders were
equally decisive in the Western Conference, battling with two other
teams. They promoted themselves to the finals by beating both of them
early in the season. In the first game of the conference they’ve
hosted another new CEFL team, Thonon
Black Panthers. The game was lopsided
as the home team triumphed with the score 41-7. In their second game,
a third CEFL novice, Milan Seamen
have welcomed them, but the final tally stood in favor of the
Austrians, 50-23.
The final
game of the CEFL
Cup will be played on the Stadio
Europa in Bolzano, Italy on Sunday,
9 June starting at 14:00
CET. The two participants will be
Bolzano Giants
and Moscow Patriots.
This is the first season of playing in CEFL for both. The Giants were
the runners-up of their national league last year, while the Spartans
are the current champions of Russia.
Giants’ road to
the finals has started at home, where they hosted Budapest
Wolves in the first round and
celebrated after a 36-19 affair. The Wolves have made a comeback in
CEFL after a 5 year hiatus from international competitions. In the
semifinals, the Giants have traveled to Belgrade
to meet SBB Vukovi
and ousted them from the Cup, 42-27. Previously, SBB Vukovi have
evicted another newcomer, Bucharest Rebels, from the tournament with
28-14.
Moscow Spartans’
are also a greenhorn in CEFL whose both wins came on the road. The
first W in their column was marked after the game they played in
Budapest
against the Cowbells
where the total was 24-6. Their second conquest was in the semifinals
when they went to Istanbul
and won even more convincingly against ITÜ
Hornets, 43-17. The Hornets were
victorious in the first round playing at home against another Moscow
team, the Patriots,
40-19.
