Zaprešić Saints and Split Seawolves face each other in Croatian title game – CroBowl VI

The newest member of the Croatian American Football League, the undefeated  Zaprešić Saints will take on the defending champion Split Sea Wolves in CroBowl VI Saturday in Zaprešić .

In the only game between the two during the regular season, the Saints edged Split 20-18 in a thriller. Zaprešić quarterback Marko Miletic threw a touchdown pass to Dominik Hadrovic with less than a minute remaining in the game for the win.

The Sea Wolves won the title in 2016 beating the Osijek Cannons. However, history does not favor Split as no team has won the Croatian title more than once.  Proof of the growth of football in Croatia is the fact that this will be only the second time the title game does not feature a team from the capital city, Zagreb.
