The same way the Gladiators lost their first game of the season, so did the Dukes. One of the more interesting games of the fall season, the one between the Gladiators and the Dukes, will not be played out this week, as the Dukes faced difficulties during procedure for Austrian visas

With their main conference rival adding two new receivers, the Novi Sad Dukes didn't sit idly during the summer break and they've themselves added reinforcements. Unlike the Vukovi, they've done so on the field, and on the sidelines.

The South’s second ranked team, the Vukovi Belgrade, addressed their need for receivers adding two from two other Serbian teams -- Igor Vukoje from the Knights and Bratislav Bošnjak of the Pančevo Panthers.

The number two team of the North at the end of the spring season, the Budapest Wolves, will be holding an open tryout for new players

For the second straight year, the Novi Sad Dukes ended their Serbian league season trophey-less. They again fell to their CEFL nemesis, the Vukovi Belgrade, this time in the semifinal game, but perhaps even the worse part is that they lost their starting quarterback Čaba Juhas due to injury.

The Budapest Cowboys entered the Hungarian Championship Final against the Budapest Wolves as the underdog, but nearly accomplished a miracle, as they led for more than three quarters, before eventually going down 20-14.

The CNC Gladiators beat, as the Division 2 champs, the Vienna Knights 36-13 in the relegation match, promoting themselves back to Austrian Division 1 for next year.

Perhaps earlier than expected, the Novi Sad Dukes and the Vukovi Belgrade will meet this Sunday in the semifinal of the Serbian league playoffs.
