“Injury Woes Strike Klosterneuburg Broncos in Tough Loss to Grizzlies”

Everything was actually set up for a top-class exchange of blows between the Klosterneuburg Broncos and the Grizzlies from Stockerau on Saturday. The bears from north of the Danube have been playing excellently since the beginning of the season and the Broncos have recently found their way with a clear win against the Styrian Panthers. The game also started on a high note. The Broncos’ defense put a lot of pressure on and the game was on an equal footing. But then it got particularly tough for the Klosterneuburg squad, which was already shaken by numerous failures.

After a hard tackle, quarterback Malcolm Humbert had to leave the field and could no longer intervene in the game. There is no exact diagnosis yet, but the suspicion is a rupture of the biceps tendon near the shoulder. An absolute bad news, because if this diagnosis comes true, the quarterback will probably be out for the rest of the season.

Running back jumped into the breach

Running back Denny Doppler jumped into the breach as quarterback and did his job quite well, but the Broncos just couldn’t sufficiently compensate for the loss of their playmaker. With a touchdown and a field goal, the guests put the score at 0:10 in the first quarter, increased it to 0:17 with another touchdown in the second period and with a field goal in the final quarter the final score of 0:20 was fixed.

Nevertheless, you can also take your hat off to the Broncos. Even without a quarterback, you didn’t give up and put up a strong fight. Especially the defensive bribed in this game. Getting only 20 points when the offensive is so weak speaks for the mental and playful strength of this line. The Broncos now have a few weeks off before returning to play the Grizzlies away on May 27th.
