First Bundesliga
Of Salzburg’s three first division clubs, the Judo Union Flachgau is currently the best placed. An exciting derby success over Pinzgau and the victory over Dynamic One brought the squad from Straßwalchen fourth place at half-time in the Bundesliga. In the remaining matches in autumn there are still calibers like champion Wels, runner-up and current table leader Galaxy Tigers, Wimpassing and the Salzburg derby against Sanjindo Bischofshofen.
For host Sanjindo, the first rounds were a bit mixed. With three defeats and the derby victory over Pinzgau, the Pongau team is currently in eighth place. Due to the tight standings in the standings, a lot still seems possible for Wicker, Scharfetter and Co with only two points behind a place in the Final Four in autumn.
In their four encounters champion and runner-up against the opponent, plus defeats in the Salzburg derbies against Flachgau and Sanjindo. The Judo Union Pinzgau remained without points and is the last in the autumn round. There, the mat foxes still have the chance to work their way up the table on their own.
Second Bundesliga
ESV Sanjindo Bischofshofen II and PSV Salzburg are in second and third place at halftime of the championship. With three wins and one loss each, both teams hold six points and have a say in the awarding of the podium places. The current leaders are the Vienna Samurais.
Competition comeback: State and SSM trainer Julius Meinel put on his combat judogi again in Bischofshofen! He also clearly won all of his four fights and scored important points for PSV with his victories.
Damenbundesliga
Vice champion ESV Sanjindo Bischofshofen presented himself very strongly. With three clear victories and a draw against the reigning champions Wimpassing, the Niederdorfer squad is in the lead of the table due to the better undervaluation. You can expect an exciting head-to-head race in autumn, in which every single victory point and even every single rating can make the difference in the title fight between Sanjindo and Wimpassing.
The women’s team of the Judo Union Flachgau, in a competition community with the Upper Austrian clubs Burgkirchen/Schwand and JU Dynamic One, placed sixth with one win, two draws and one defeat in the middle of the table.
