Luxembourg. Ranked last in Europe – 32nd. Like other European countries, Luxembourg was running championship of two parts – first a regular season, followed by final tournament of the top 6 in the first phase, playing for the title, and the bottom 4 played with the top teams of the Second Division in promotion/relegation phase.
Nothing exciting, at least to the outside eye – relatively familiar in Europe Progres (Niederkorn) – was now in the Second Division, but managed to win promotion and return to top flight.
US Luxembourg – or Union Luxembourg – won the championship: they were 2nd in the first phase and had excellent final phase. It was their 4th title.
The Cup final was between First and Second Division teams: Swift (Hesperange) vs AS Differdange. After overtime there was still no winner: 3-3. Second match was scheduled and this time the top league team, however weak (they were 9th – second to last in the first phase), proved far above the second league-squad, however strong (AS Differdange was 2nd in the first phase of the Second Division Group 2): 7-1! Too bad for the small fry...
What a glorious season for the modest even by Luxembourg standards Swift (Hesperange) – they won their first and so far only trophy! A victory to remember forever indeed.
