In Bra\u0219ov, Corona lost 4-0 to Budapest J\u00e9gkorong Akad\u00e9mia, while in Remetea, ACSH Gheorgheni fell 3-4 to the Miskolc-based side, Jegesmedv\u00e9k.

SCM R\u00e2mnicu V\u00e2lcea has qualified for the Final Four tournament after securing a 32-27 away victory on Wednesday against the trophy holders, CSM Bucharest. The capital city side, who also hold the Romanian national title, are now in danger of missing both domestic objectives this season. This follows the loss of their first-place position in the championship after a home defeat against Gloria Bistri\u021ba last week.
