Not less than three clubs from the city of Zurich are lining up in the semifinals of this year’s newly designed Swiss Cup. The semifinals on Saturday will see the pairings between the NLB team Zurich Lions and the Therwil Flyers, as well as the local derby between the Zurich Barracudas and the Zurich Challengers.<\/p>\n

After the Challengers missed out on a place in the championship final and are no longer able to defend their title, the Swiss Cup remains their last option to win something in the 2024 season. The draw for the semifinals gave them the eagerly awaited local derby with the Zurich Barracudas. In the championship the Barracudas won three of the five direct duels, while the Challengers won two games. In the other semifinal the Therwil Flyers will face the lower-class Zurich Lions. They surprisingly won the quarterfinals after a spectacular rally against the NLA club Wil Pirates. Both the semifinals on Saturday and the final on Sunday will take place at the Heerensch\u00fcrli ballpark in Zurich.<\/p>\n
