ASV Siegendorf have been crowned champions of the Burgenlandliga ahead of schedule and, one year after their relegation from the Ostliga, have made an immediate return to the third-highest division. With four rounds to go, coach Nikolaus Schilhan's unbeaten team can no longer be caught.

Imagine becoming champions and not being there. That's what happened yesterday for Siegendorf's footballers, who can no longer be displaced from the top of the Burgenlandliga table in the remaining four rounds thanks to Horitschon's 1:0 win over Parndorf and are also mathematically confirmed as champions and promoted.

Celebrations at home on Friday
"To be honest, I would have preferred Parndorf to win and secure the title at home," said club boss Peter Krenmayr, "but it is what it is." Especially as this fact is really the only small "shadow" on a flawless season. "Huge compliments to the team and the coaching team," says the president, appreciating what has been achieved. The celebration will be made up for next Friday at the home game against Kohfidisch, but ASV still has two goals for this season: "We want to remain unbeaten and win the BFV Cup!"
