On the 9th of July the Vikings played in their third Inline Regionalliga tournament, having difficult times with a really short bench – with 6 skaters only – and being without a “real” goalie. Patrick Zell – normally one of the leading Vikings scorers – had to dress as netminder. He did an outstanding job though, preventing many scoring chances despite not having played in net for years.
First, Herborn took advantage of the Vikings’ lineup, winning 6-0.
The game started well with a score of 0-1 at halftime, but Wiesbaden was not able to keep up the pace and fell apart during the second period.
In game two against Frankfurt the Vikings found the back of the net 5 times, winning that game 5-2.
Kronberg then won 5-1 in the last game, with exhausted Vikings not being able to cope with the heat, especially as the latter games were back to back.
