Tune-up Win at Basel

A week before the semi-final Euro Bowl playoff, the Calanda Broncos motored over to play their Swiss opponent, the Basel Gladiators.

The Broncos won 58-14 but the headline was scarey; they use the word "troubled". Apparently it was the first time this season when a Swiss team had a lead (0-7). Anyway, all went well. The usual resting of star QB Marko Glavic & other starters after the 35-7 first half. Valentino took over at QB & his troops put on some more points incl. his long TD run. Basel scored again against the second & third stringers. See if you can glean that from the story on their website:

...As you would already know the Calanda Broncos this season, they switched back early from their ranks and cheerfully left their collecting substitute players use a lot of time and experience again. In the second half, then took over the office of Steve Valentino playmaker Marko Glavic and led his team to yet another point. Among other things, he was also a self with a long touchdown run in the scorers list. Guard against the second and third of the people of Basel Grisons then managed another touchdown. Much more than cosmetic result was not anymore.

Next Saturday will be the most important game in Calanda Bronco 20-year history. The semi-final opponent - sometimes called Swarco Raiders & other times Tyrol Raiders - are a team very similar to the Broncs. The historical connection is that a few years ago, Marko Glavic was the QB & Geoff Buffan a coach when the Raiders won the Euro Bowl.

It will be on TV in Innsbruck & on the web for us. It will start at 2:00pm our time. I will post the link later.

After the game, the Broncos will motor 3 hours to Zurich, Switzerland so they can play their main competition for the Swiss Bowl on Sunday. It is unusual but not impossible that when playoffs get preference to a league schedule, the league game might be within a few days. It's up to the home team & the knuckleheads from Zurich chose the next day, Sunday. Then six days later Zurich will have to travel south to Chur & play Calanda at their home field. Now that could be a blood letting!



QB on the way to all the way!!!
