Switzerland 8, Denmark 7 in Avusy
(FIRA-AER Div. 3A)
Switzerland’s only match so
far was a surprise 6-42 loss to Latvia away last weekend. They were
disappointing in last season’s World Cup qualifying round. After pushing Poland
close 15-20, they suffered a shock 8-17 loss to Malta at home, an easy win over
Bulgaria but an away draw with Serbia-Montenegro. The draw effectively
eliminated them from the World Cup.
Denmark were also eliminated
from the World Cup last season but only after a grand struggle with Malta in
the Round 2 play offs. After winning by 9 points at home they lost by 10 points
away, Malta scoring in the last minute of play. Denmark has played two games so
far this Northern season. They lost to British Army Germany 12-30 in October
and then 14-16 to Sweden in early November.
