The league champion lost their first game this year, but it was fortunately a friendly. The Vukovi lost to the Danube Dragons near Vienna on Saturday, 30-27, but considering the reputation of the opponent, it's not a disappointing result for them.
The Vukovi Belgrade will begin their championship defense this season with a friendly game -- a very challenging friendly actually. They will play the Danube Dragons, one of the strongest Austrian and European team, on Saturday in Korneuburg near Vienna.
The CEFL's new season kicks off with two games on April the 10th; both games will be played in Serbia, with the Vukovi hosting the Silverhawks and the Dukes hosting the Wolves.
When you go from contender to pretender in just a few months, the future doesn’t look bright. But the Novi Sad Dukes are doing the best they can to right the ship.
