Salzburg League

Champions hold on to class as veteran says goodbye

Only six games were played instead of seven. In addition to the cancellation of the Anif game, the penultimate round of the Salzburg League saw one new development in the relegation battle: Thalgau remain in the league.

The familiar game continued at the top: runner-up Seekirchen didn't give problem child Golling the slightest chance and jumped to the top overnight with a 5-0 win. League leaders Kuchl are not in action until today against Henndorf. "It was already decided at the break. Golling were well served with the 4:0," summed up the home side's manager Mario Lapkalo.

Meanwhile, a lot was happening in Thalgau: The team from Flachgau dispatched Siezenheim 4:0 to finally secure their place in the league. "The relief is huge. We made it exciting for a long time. But it's just as well," summed up coach Tomislav Jonjic. Mrkonjic scored three times in the last home game of the season to bid farewell to veteran Enzesberger, who was sent off with Bengal fires in stoppage time.

Double celebration in Hallein
Hallein, meanwhile, had multiple reasons to celebrate. The Salinenstädter became the first team to inflict another defeat on Bramberg after ten games without defeat. An own goal from Jakob Nindl and a counter-attack from Vurbic made it 2:0. 1b of the Tennengau team then won 6:0 against Großgmain and secured the title and promotion in the 2nd class North B. "Now I can have two or three beers," cheered sports director David König during the celebration, which included a self-made plate, T-shirts and everything that goes with a championship celebration.
