Bloody start
However, the tournament began with a painful scare: Klosterneuburg's national player Alexia Allesch - signed just a few days ago from German Bundesliga club BC Marburg - had to leave the court with a bloody nose after a collision and was taken to hospital by ambulance.
However, their Duchesses did not let this put them off, and went into Sunday's final with a commanding 80:55 win over Wels, for which tickets are still available. They were followed five hours later by the local heroes: UBI Graz gave the Vienna Basket Flames no chance, making short work of them with 71:59. The women's final will be played on Sunday at 4.30 pm.
Wels plays for the title again
In the men's competition, defending champions Flyers Wels did not show any weakness. With around a hundred supporters in attendance and cheered on by them, the Upper Austrians beat the BBC Nord Dragonz from Eisenstadt by a clear 81:68. In the men's competition, Klosterneuburg advanced to the final with a commanding 71:59 win over Traiskirchen, who had to do without Moritz Lanegger from Graz, who was not fit. Klosterneuburg now has the chance to take the men's and women's Cup crown on Sunday.
