The newly founded SG Eagles/Challengers played its first gameday on Sunday, April 22. The team with mostly young players from the Luzern Eagles and the Zurich Challengers faced last year’s finalist Therwil Flyers. Game 1 was all Flyers, as they posted an easy 21-0 shutout win. Game 2 was different, as the Flyers only managed to edge the SG Eagles/Challengers 7-6.

The SG Eagles/Challengers will face next the Zurich Barracudas on Sunday, April 29 at the Klopstockwiese. Before that the Zurich Challengers will open their campaign against the reigning Swiss champion Luzern Eagles on Saturday, April 28 at the Klopstockwiese as well.
