The players of SPG Großwalsertal gave themselves a special gift for winning the fall championship in the Vorarlbergliga.

Ten wins in twelve games made an impact. SPG Großwalsertal is the fall champion of the Vorarlbergliga. After the game on the national holiday, there was a big surprise: young players presented the team with an autumn champion plate, which two of the Walser players had organized themselves.

"Now we have our own national holiday in Walsertal. The attitude of the lads, the will to play at the front, was simply outstanding," says sporting director Andreas Jenny, "the big lead of six points over rivals Fußach and Bizau is surprising for us." What stood out was that the Walser team won many games in the last 30 minutes. "We have the advantage that we don't have to step up," added Jenny. He assured that no players from outside the club would be hired in the Großes Walsertal, even in the event of promotion, and that nothing would be paid.

The ÖFB has already noticed all this and the Walsers have been invited to the international match against Slovenia on November 17 in Vienna.
