Freespeed Basel’s closing tournament of the 2013 season was the annual „Bologna is Back“ tournament in Bologna, Italy.
In the last few years, Freespeed has started to use this tournament to incorporate new potential players for the future season. This year was the first one in which a whole lot of new junior players from the own junior program joined the team.
The team consisted of a mix with very experienced, some less experienced players, and 6 new faces. With a 5-0 on saturday, Freespeed won their pool and qualified for quarters. Quarters on sunday against Cota Rica ended with a surprising comeback from Freespeed, winning 9:8 after being down 6:8! After losing semis to Flying Bisch, Freespeed took 3rd place in an intense game against KFK from Copenhagen.
The whole team did a great job. Especially the young players surprised quite some opponents with athletic D blocks, nice cuts or good disc skills!Thanks a lot to CUS Bologna for hosting a fun tournament (as always!), and thanks to all our opponents for hard fought and spirited games!
