In the last week of Zurich’s holidays, the Challengers offer their fans a Nightgames Festival. The NLA team kicks things off, facing the Zurich Barracudas in a city derby on Monday and Tuesday. For the Challengers, currently in fourth place, it’s about defending their league position, while the third-placed Barracudas aim to keep pace with the top duo from Therwil and Lucerne.
