Austria’s European Cup representative HC Hard landed their first competitive win of the new calendar year with a 29:28 at home against HSG Graz and thus secured qualification for the quarter-finals of the Handball-Liga-Austria (HLA)!
Due to the defeat, the Fivers Margareten and Ferlach, who were fourth or fifth behind the Vorarlberg team, also got the ticket for the top eight teams, despite a home 27:31 against champion Krems. For the Carinthians, the first defeat after three victories en suite was at least a little to cope with. In any case, the champions from Lower Austria remain at the top of the table after the 17th of 22 rounds of the regular season Quarterfinals. Bad Vöslau and Bärnbach/Köflach only have small chances. This basement derby penultimate against last went to the Lower Austrians on Friday with 25:23.
