Finland’s Turun Trojans easily won the European Football League Scandinavian Cup (American Football) with a 41-7 victory over hosts Cophenhagen Towers in the Final. The Trojans had defeated T-Town Tigers from Eskilstuna in Sweden in the Semi-Finals, and the Towers had won the other Semi-final over fellow Danes, the Dansk All-Stars, who were assembled at the last minute due to the late withdrawal of the Norwegian entrant, Askey Lynx.
