Despite adverse external conditions, at least 150 paying spectators found themselves in the Spartans stadium, who braved the cold.
The Warlords started with a running back touchdown Matthew Moser and the PAT Kick Luca Bernhauser, who was in top form again this matchday and safely converted all five extra points. Even the Warlords’ defense could not be overcome by the opponent and quickly set up the score with a safety 9:0. Still increased in the first half Matthew Moser and Kay Bachermaking a deep pass from Marcel Mayerhofer caught, on 23:0.
After the restart, the guests continued where they left off in the first half and increased 30:0. Only now did the hosts get their first points. Your touchdown from wide receiver Georg Gangl after passport from Matthew Potmesil should also remain her only one that afternoon. Put the finishing touches Kay Bacher with his second touchdown to the final score of 37:6 from the point of view of the Viennese.

“It just wasn’t our day today. It would have been a better result inside, but we just made too many mistakes,” said Georg Gangl, Spartans head coach after the game. “We haven’t managed to find our rhythm on offense and have to work on many issues. Now we have 3 weeks to prepare for the next game. We have to step up! The defense has performed well for some stretches, but we have room for improvement here as well. All in all, our game corresponded to today’s weather. The guys didn’t give up again, which I’m proud of, but unfortunately the mistakes outweighed the bad ones.”
“I’m very proud of our team, which is now leading its division with two wins”according to Warlord’s President Gerhard Uhrovcsik. „We are only at the beginning of the season but our extensive coaching staff is doing a great job. All 9 coaches are there with passion for the sport, the club and the players. The whole team lives football and shows it with consistency and full commitment in the training sessions.”
Florian KoselChairman on the other side: “From a sporting point of view, unfortunately, it didn’t work out today to present a football festival to the Mistelbachers, but I’m not entirely dissatisfied with the organization. At least we managed to bring 150 enthusiasts to WeiSwo Field, that in this weather. Of course we would have wished for weather like last week, but that’s the way it is. The organization has worked so far. We reacted at short notice and had blankets and mulled wine for our visitors. If we now also take the next step in sporting terms, things will really get going here again.”
Warlords Head Coach Florian Dryer looks hopefully at the young talents: “Our strong and reliable core team forms the basis of the team, which seamlessly integrates and pulls the young players along. QB Ali Mardany Pur, made his debut in the tackle team today. Felix Schultz, Bernhard Cerny and Dylan Calderon, who also come from the Junior Tigers’ football talent pool, have played their way into the team and are a valuable asset.”
