After the Winterthur Warriors flag women’s division won the Swiss championship last year, they doubled up this year. 19-year-old Enja Hüberli from Zuzwil can also call herself back-to-back champion.
Flag Football “We want to defend the title as Swiss champions,” said Enja Hüberli when asked about her goals for the season in the May 11 edition of the WN. And she achieved this together with her team. In the final, her team, the Winterthur Warriors Ladies, beat the Zurich Renegades in a head-to-head race with 27:25.
As an outsider in the playoffs
After twelve games, the Winterthur Warriors Ladies finished the regular season in fourth place with five wins and seven defeats. So they barely slipped into the knockout games. In the semifinals the team faced the Calanda Broncos women’s team. In a thrilling game that ended with an 18:28 win for the Warriors, the ticket to the final was secured. The other finalists, the Zurich Renegades, swept the ASVZ Nightbirds from the field and also fought for the title of Swiss champions. In the spectacular final game, the Winterthur women managed to get the Zurich Renegades players under control and ultimately win the game. Enja Hüberli played defensively in the starting line-up in both final matches and was significantly involved in crucial situations in the hard-fought game.
“Proud of the team”
For her, winning the Swiss championship again was a credit to everyone, as she said after the final game. «I am so proud of every single player and the team. “We did it together and were able to defend the championship title,” says the Zuzwil native, visibly enthusiastic. In addition to winning the title, another highlight for Hüberli this year was taking part in the European Flag Football Championship in Limerick, Ireland. There she competed with the Swiss national team and finished ninth. For the defender, the current flag football season, which runs from May to the end of September, is over. “I couldn’t have imagined a nicer end to the season,” she says and adds with a smile: “Maybe we’ll defend the title again next year. I really hope we continue to play like this.”
