Czechoslovakia the Cup

 

Cup:

Spartak Trnava        2-1 5-1 Škoda Plzeň

Skoda (Plzen) won the Czech Cup, but failed at the Czechoslovak Cup – expectedly.

Brilliant season for Spartak (Trnava) – they won everything: champions of Czechoslovakia, Slovakian Cup winners, and lastly – Czechoslovakian Cup winner. Technically, a double, for the winners of Slovakian and Czech cups competed for the Czechoslovakian Cup.

Poland the Cup

 

Cup:

Górnik Zabrze            3-1 Zagłębie Sosnowiec

Zaglebie tried hard, but it was still Gornik's time and playing at the Cup's final was honorable achievement.

Unbeatable Gornik – finished the season with a double, 4^th consecutive Cup, and also champions again after three years.
