After a zero number, Nußbach now faces a semi-final thriller against Arnreit

As leaders in the indoor fistball Bundesliga, the women from Union Schwingenschuh Nußbach started the last round of the basic round in the Kirchdorf town hall. But without main attacker Pia Neuefeind and the sick all-rounder Katharina Lackinger there was nothing for the defending champions. When the three best teams in Austria met, Nußbach suffered two painful 3-0 defeats.

The duel with Freistadt was about direct qualification for the final at “Final 3” in two weeks. After the loss of the two regular players, the game was not a good one. Coach Marco Salzberger put a new attacking duo in the starting lineup with Veronika Trinkl and Jasmin Kammerhuber and completed the squad with Angela Mayrhofer and young hopeful Lara Valtiner. The balance of power was more than clear at 5:11, 1:11, 5:11. “Unfortunately we made too many mistakes and Freistadt made the game very easy,” says Kammerhuber.

Afterwards, the five around captain Iris Mayr wanted to rehabilitate themselves against Arnreit. But the plan clearly failed at 4:11, 5:11, 7:11. This means that the Mühlviertler women are also in the semi-finals on February 23rd. from 7 p.m. in the Enns sports hall, opponents from Nußbach. “We’ll quickly put today’s matchday behind us and concentrate on the Final 3, where hopefully everyone will be fit again,” says Kammerhuber.
