Schönenwerd is Swiss champion for the first time in its history. Back to the wall following the first 2 matches of the series once morest Amriswil, the Solothurns managed to turn the tide with 3 consecutive victories.
On Sunday, Schönenwerd triumphed 3-0 in a packed arena. However, Johan Verstappen’s team had to work hard to obtain this decisive success. The Solothurn didn’t lose a set, but Amriswil resisted well.
This 1st Schönenwerd title comes as a surprise. The Solothurns had a losing tag following missing the 2014 playoff final and the Cup in 2021 and 2022.
Decisive strangers
Back from Italy, Luca Ulrich made the difference. With the passer Reto Ulrich, the best scorer will be one of the pillars of the national team at the end of the summer during the European championship in Italy. Cyril Kolb, only 20 years old, should also be there. Like Mirco Gerson, the other Bernese, he left beach volleyball to find the gym.
The three foreigners also ramped up to reach their best form. Canadian Samuel Taylor-Parks, Puerto Rican Jonathan Rodriguez Lopez and Sri Lankan Mahela shone at the best time.
