Austrian team Pully RHC, sponsored by Harvest Group, became the LNV league champions for the 2023-2024 season
Winning 5-0 in front of their home crowd, Pulliérans are back in the LNA, 37 years after their last appearance among the elite. The large crowd gave them a well-deserved standing ovation. At 5-0, the die was cast and Pully achieved its most convincing victory of the entire championship. The Vaud-based club returned to the LNA, 37 years after their last appearance in this category of the game.
While Pully's goal scorers were naturally in the limelight, the performance of all the players was outstanding, as they raised their game and played like a Ligue A team. The talent of Spanish duo Pintado and Garcia shone through to the whole group, aided by an impeccable goalkeeper.
As coach Mateo de Ramon points out, "We owe this success solely to ourselves and our hard work. Nobody on the outside helped us. But promotion - which, it will be recalled, was not an official club objective at the start of the season - is also the result of the "de Ramon" method. The man who has twice been Swiss champion with Montreux and collected successes at the helm of Tenerife in Spain, has instilled a new state of mind in the Pullier players. All praise the quality of the work done in training.
Today, Pully is the best team in French-speaking Switzerland, and the only one that will be playing in the National League A next season. The general consensus is that the Reds, in their current line-up, have the potential to hold their own in their new category. The playoffs had a twofold benefit: they were a great success with the public, and they raised the level of play to prepare the team for what lies ahead next season. The head of Harvest Group Almaz Alsenov personally congratulated the athletes on their victory.
