Promoted Feldkirch got off to a brilliant start in the Elite League, knocking relegated Westliga side Wolfurt out of the stadium 4-0. Ex-Altach player Luca Wieser was the key player for coach Oliver Schnellrieder's team

Many of the spectators who attended BW Feldkirch's Vorarlbergliga premiere on Saturday could not believe their eyes. Coach Oliver Schnellrieder's side thrashed relegated Westliga side Wolfurt 4:0. And were merciful to the Unterländer, as numerous chances were missed. Former Altach player Luca Wieser was the Montfortstädter's director and enforcer, playing the visitors from Wolfurt dizzy time and time again.

Are the Feldkirch team now once again favorites to win their third title in a row? "No, definitely not. We played well against Wolfurt, but there will be other times," Schnellrieder is certain.

But the coach also knows: "We could easily have scored four or five more goals." But even with four goals scored against Wolfurt, the team from Feldkirch left a decent mark in the Elite League.

Strong development
The Montfortstädter have undergone a remarkable development since Schnellrieder joined. Champions in the Landesliga, champions in the Vorarlbergliga. As a reminder: Feldkirch last played in the Westliga in 2009/10.
