BBO InterCity League, 15th edition. Usual number of teams – 30 in 3 groups of 10. Croatia had 7, Serbia 3, Slovenia 2, Montenegro 2, Bosnia Herzegovina and Macedonia 1. Italy had 3, England 3, Ireland 2, Scotland, Wales, Bulgaria, Denmark, Poland, Slovakia, Switzerland 1. So, half the field was from ex-Yugoslavia territories. One quarter made it to the final 12, and 2 are still playing.
Here is schedule for the last 8:
1. Napoli (Italy)
8. Niš (Serbia)
4. Wales United
5. Košice (Slovakia)
3. Ascoli Piceno (Italy)
6. Kočevje (Slovenia)
7. Paris (France)
2. Konstanz (Svitzerland)
There are new faces. Some of them in their debutant year: Paris, Napoli and Košice. And some of old favourites are gone. Will Ascoli Piceno prevail for the 5th time (3rd in a row)? Future will tell us soon. My favourites are Paris, Napoli and Ascoli Piceno. Final match will be played in 3 weeks.
See you there.
