Bayside Reserves Are Division Two Champions

Although finishing fourth in the Regular Season table, Bayside Reserves, calling upon their full team, which includes players who regularly turn out for the club’s first team, had already eliminated Regular Season leaders Europa Valmar Reserves, who also field first team players, in the semi-final, were too strong for Bavaria Blue Stars Giants (2nd in the Regular Season and also with a couple of first team players) in the final series, winning the first leg by 9 points and running away in a 20-points blow out in the second.

Women’s Development League
