VALDIR WINS CHAMPIONSHIP IN AUSTRIA
 

Valdir Sequeira’s SK Posojilnica Aich/Dob was crowned Austrian National Champion after beating the defending champions Hypo Tirol VB by 3-1 (25-15, 23-25, 25-18 e 25-18) in a best-of-seven series.

The Portuguese opposite was the second best scorer of the match with 22 points (17 attacks, 3 serves, 2 blocks).

The Hypo Tirol player Frederick Laure assumed:
“(Valdir) Sequeira was this Final top player. We didn’t manage to control him”…

With a full packed hall, the first Aich/Dob championship title was enthusiastically celebrated also by dozens of fans, which gathered outside to assist the match in a giant screen outside the sports hall.

In France, Nuno Pinheiro’s Tours VB made another step towards winning the championship, after edging Paris Volley by 3-1 (25-17, 16-25, 25-21 e 25-14). Tours will now host its opponent on the upcoming May 5.
