The reigning monarchs' winning streak has come to an end
In a shocking turn of events, the Potsdam Royals have claimed the North Division championship of the GFL Juniors, following their victory over the previously undefeated Dresden Monarchs. The championship game, held at the Heinz-Steyer Stadium, was witnessed by 6,972 spectators, who saw the Royals secure a 6:31 (6:18) victory.
The defeat marks the Monarchs' first loss of the season and signifies the end of their hopes for the North Division championship. As a result, the Royals will also have home-field advantage in the playoff semifinal, should they progress, due to their championship win.
The Monarchs will now face a tough challenge in the quarterfinals, as they prepare to take on the Troisdorf Jets. This will be a rematch of their last quarterfinal encounter, which saw the Jets emerge victorious with a score of 24:17.
The Monarchs' loss also means that they will no longer defend the North Division championship in the upcoming season. The focus now shifts to the quarterfinals, which will take place on September 20 at the Heinz-Steyer Stadium, the same location as the championship game.
The Monarchs will need to win the quarterfinals to advance to the playoff semifinal, and their chances of doing so will be tested against the reigning German champions, the Potsdam Royals, who have proven their mettle in this season's North Division. The Monarchs will need to regroup and show resilience to turn the tables in the next game.
