ECLW final: Zamek tests Berlin`s invincibility

The first final leg will be held on April 29th Polish champion hosts the best German club (18:00 CET)

 

Two best clubs in the European Champions League Women are going to decide the winner for the 2015/16 season as the second seed Zamek Tarnobrzeg hosts the no. 1 seed TTC Berlin Eastside this Friday (18:00 CET) in the first final leg. It will be the clash between actual ETTU Cup winner and two times ECLW champion (German side lifted the trophy in 2012 and 2014).

 

Concerning the ongoing season both sides deserved to be in the ultimate chapter. Zamek successfully passed the tough group (D) finishing ahead of double ECLW winner Linz AG Froschberg.
