Joy on one side, sadness on the other. While St. Pauls secured relegation on the last matchday of the league, Brixen had to make the bitter journey to the national league on Sunday after 23 years. During the week there was unrest in the cathedral city when it became clear that... Coach Kurt Forer will no longer be on the sidelines next season. Lana's former successful coach would now like to say goodbye to Brixen with the triumph in the state cup, in which all teams from the 3rd amateur league to the upper league took part.

The situation for the Paulsners is completely different. After winning the Oberliga Cup and staying in the league, you could crown a successful season on Saturday. For coach Alex Mayr, who is drawn to Schenna, it would be the perfect end to four years at the traditional Überetsch club. By the way: Last year St. Pauls also reached the final of the newly held national cup. At that time they lost 1:2 against St. Georgen and an outstanding Martin Ritsch. By the way, a year ago around 500 spectators were drawn to the Drusus Stadium in Bolzano.
