Crvenka’s footballers, members of the Sombor District League, played their final warm-up match in Bajša against Vojvodina League side Bajša. The hosts won 2:0; the half-time score was 0:0. Lipar lost 1:0 at home to Vojvodina League side Bačka from Subotica, although it should be noted that Lipar were not at full strength, as several players were on vacation at the seaside. Our third District League team, Rusin from Ruski Krstur, took part last weekend in a tournament held in Đurđevo as part of the “Jaša Bakov” Sports Games. Competing against three other teams, Rusin finished second. In the semi-final, Rusin’s footballers faced the hosts, Bačka from Đurđevo, and the match ended in a 2:2 draw in regular time. Filip Vujović and Janko Kulić scored for Rusin, who then won 4:2 in the penalty shootout to qualify for the final. Their opponents in the final were Iskra from Kucura, who won 2:0, leaving Rusin to settle for second place. The Sombor District League season also begins next weekend. In the opening round, Crvenka will visit Kordun in Kljajićevo, while Lipar will visit Tvrđava in Bač. These matches will be played on Saturday, while on Sunday Rusin will host Budućnost from Gložan in Ruski Krstur.
