RCK/Bishops fall to Zug while RCK/Cindies shine in season opener

The RCK/Bishops faced Zug away this Saturday in a hard-fought encounter that ended 41–21 in favor of the home side. At halftime the score was still neck-and-neck at 15–14, with Bishops’ captain Oliver leading by example and crossing the line twice to keep the game wide open.

In the second half, however, Zug capitalized on a difficult spell for the Bishops, scoring four unanswered tries to pull away on the scoreboard.

Despite the setback, the team showed determination until the final whistle, with the forwards powering through for all three of the Bishops’ tries. While this defeat follows last week’s strong win in Biel, the Bishops remain confident. With lessons learned, they now turn their focus to the upcoming clash against Würenlos, where they aim to bounce back and deliver a stronger performance.

Meanwhile, the RCK/Cindies celebrated their first match day of the LNFB season in Winterthur. They kicked off with an impressive 31–12 win against Würenlos, followed by a spirited 17–17 draw against the hosts from Winterthur. A promising start that sets the tone for the season ahead.
