Respect and fairness were the watchwords for the losers

There were only long faces among the Mondsee team in red because of the 2:3 defeat, but not because of the lack of guest cabins in Bad Ischl.

Bravo, ASK St. Valentin, Union Dietach and SV Mondsee! Although these three Upper Austrian league teams all came away losers this time in Bad Schallerbach, St. Martin and Bad Ischl respectively, they still showed respect and fair play. And not just because both are nouns.  

"It was a really good game," said OÖ-Liga boss Stefan Reiter after Bad Ischl's 3:2 win in the Salzkammergut derby and continued: "But what impressed me the most was that Mondsee didn't make any fuss because of Ischl's current infrastructural problems, but even helped to ensure that the game could be played on time."
