Over the weekend, dramatic Lithuanian senior (60+) futsal championships took place in Alytus.
Eight teams competed in the championships this season, each playing against each other once, and then meeting for specific positions - the teams that took first and second place met for the winners' names, while the teams that took third and fourth place competed for the third position.
During the weekend in Alytus, the teams first clarified their relationships in the last "regular" season match, playing one match each against their remaining opponents.
In the last match, Utena's "Utenio senjorai" played a draw with Alytus' "Dainava," and Siauliai VFK club did not match the joint team of Jonava and Karmelava.
However, it was the Utena and Siauliai teams that took the first two positions, meaning they faced each other in a duel for the winners' names.
Meanwhile, the fight for third place awaited the aforementioned Jonava-Karmelava teams and the "Kaunas" confrontation.
