Fistball returns this weekend
The annual Cohen Fistball Tournament takes place this Saturday at the Cohen Fistball Club grounds, where ten teams will battle it out for the coveted title.The action kicks off at 08:30 with matches in the U/13 junior category. Alongside hosts CFC, the Green-Whites of SKW will field two teams. At the previous tournament held four weeks ago, SKW A dominated the field, securing three convincing victories to claim the title.
Seven teams have registered for the adult competition, which will this year be contested in a single division. Two teams from the extended U/18 squad will compete against sides from SFC, as well as two teams each from SKW and CFC. Last year’s champions, TSV Grafenau from Germany, will not be present to defend their title.
CFC 1 enter the tournament as firm favourites, having won every competition so far this season. Their last home victory in the Cohen Tournament came seven years ago, with several recent editions cancelled due to a lack of participating teams or strong competition from Europe.
Much attention will be on the U/18 squads, some of whom have already established themselves as key players at club level.
