2012–13 European Shield
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 2012, the European Shield switched to a new 2 year format with teams playing each other at home and away. The teams involved were the 2010 East and West Champions (Russia and Serbia) who competed along with the 2011 Champions (Germany). They were joined by the 2013 World Cup qualifier (Italy).[1] The competition was won by Russia who won four of the five matches they played before their final match was awarded to them when their opponents, Germany, forfeited due to a number of players failing to arrange travel visas in time.[2] Italy won all of their 2013 fixtures to take second place ahead of Serbia.[3][4]
