At the moment, the strongest Austrian team: they won the fall part of the season with 34 points from 13 wins, 8 ties, and single loss. 44-21 goal-difference. In the final stage they starter with 17 points – half of what they earned in the fall – to which they added another formidable campaign: 10 wins, 1 tie, 3 losses, 34-16 goal-difference. So, the total of the year: 23 wins, 9 ties, 4 lost games, 78-37 goal-difference and 8 points ahead of the nearest rival. Swarovski Tirol ruled Austria. At the moment.
