Next Generation: Freespeedies

Last weekend, the young talents from the „Freespeed academy“ competed at the so far biggest annual junior tournament in central europe: Pfingstturnier (Bad Rappenau, Germany)!

The U17 division consistet of 7 teams who played a round robin to determine the finalists. Day one started with a victory over one of the local teams. The second game was a tough game against strong playing austrians „Innfamous“ from Innsbruck. An almost unstoppable austrian Offense made them win the game. The last game of the day was against the organizing team and multiple german champion Bad Raps was probably the best game of the division for the entire weekend. The game was contested until the end, with a break on the german side. When the time was ofer, Freespeedies wasted the opportunity to egalize the score and proceed to double game point. Instead, the Bad Raps took the game with a deserved 11:9 victory. The two losses made it difficult to still qualify for the finaly. Hope restored when Innfamous lost to Innsiders in the morning of the second day. Knowing that the point difference would be the key in a possible threeway tie, Freespeedies started agressively into the game against Innsiders. After the last point was played, the team was one point short to qualify for finals. The two last round robin games endet up in uncontested victories. In the game for third place Freespeedies were facing Innfamous again. Eager for a revenge the team came out strong and dominated all game through. With a last break they closed the game to a clear 11:4 victory to take the 3rd place.

Those young talents showed some fantastic plays and hot action! A great weekend with good moments for good memories and valuable experiences on the field!
