In the middle of the regular season of the Female League Cup, both Telecable Gijon and Generali Palau are very close to qualifying for the Final Four: both are the only two teams to have won two games out of four. The asturians, first in the standings in the Spanish championship, will have the home match against the Catalan Voltregà, while Generali Palau will have to play the long-awaited derby against Fenie Energie Cerdanyola, respectively fourth and fifth in the standings of the Spanish Female Ok Liga, a challenge that could also turn all the positions in the ranking. In group A there will also be the all-French challenge between Noisy and Coutras, both stopped at zero points. The recovery of the 2nd day of group B between Martinelia Manlleu and Fenie Energie Cerdanyola will be officially played on March 24th.
Last day of play for the World Skate Europe Cup. With six teams already qualified, only two of the four games scheduled are crucial for the purpose of the standings. The french derby between Poire Roller and Noisy Le Grand will decide the fate of the second of group A, while between the italian Follonica Hockey and the french Dinan Quevert is decisive both for the passage of the round of the Italians but also for the first place of the group and therefore avoid the multiple WSEC winner Finques Prats Lleida from the quarter-final. The portuguese and spanish double challenges in groups B and C, Igualada-Viana and Sanjoanense-Calafell, are valid only for statistics and not for the places already solidified in the ranking of the two groups. The last match will be played on March 12 between Follonica and Geneve which will decide the final grid of the Quarterfinals. Already defined two quarterfinals: Voltregà (Spain) against Valdagno (Italy) (first leg 26 March in Voltregà return to Italy on 9 April) and Viana (Portugal) against Calafell (Spain) (first leg in Portugal 26 March and return to Catalunya on 9 April)
