He overcame Stefan FEGERL before HOU Yingcho leveled and beat Hunor SZÖCS. In the fourth match HOU overcame STEGER. Daniel HABESOHN overcame Constantin CIOTI

 

“I think in Ruhe we commenced the opening duel in very powerful style. I had 2-2 and 10-4 against STEGER. However after I lost HOU made a good job and won two points. Against STEGER he was 1-2 down. So it was another very close match. Danny played at position no. three he was one game in reverse and 9:10 down “ explained FEGERL.

 

The forthcoming duel will not be exception. Everyone expects close final.

 

“It is 50/50 match. We are favorites but so many things could go wrong. If we manage to make a good draw win first or second game then the chances are on our side. I am optimistic but by no mean we will not underestimate Bremen with STEGER ” said FEGERL.

 

Werder will fight until the last ball.

“Weinviertel were the expected heavy opponents with very strong players at all three positions. Weinviertel have made a good game in Bremen we will give everything in the second leg the players are highly motivated. We will fight to the last point and hope the sensation will come. The team will be accompanied by many fans we are looking forward to the game ” said Manager Sascha GREBER.

  

 

Turkish club Bursa Büyükşehir Belediyespor clinched victory against CP LYSSOIS Lille Metropole in the opening leg in Lille. On Sunday on their home soil they will have the chance to celebrate the title.

 

“We had our chances in the opening leg. It is a shame we did not seized the opportunities we had. The atmosphere was great with 700 fans in the hall ” reflected Bernadette SZOCS.”We have been a little bit unlucky three weeks ago but I feel and I know that we can beat them now in Turkey. I came close to beat Polina MIKHAYLOVA. She played last time against me like she have nothing to lose but she will not surprise me again. Of course the toughest task will be to stop HU Melek.”

 

In opening leg YANG Xiaoxin gave hosts a dream start but HU Melek was at the top of the game. After YANG Xiaoxin beat Polina MIKHAYLOVA HU brought back guests in game. She beat Bernadette SZOCS.
