RC Geneve PLO wins Swiss Cup against Lausanne UC

25.06.2016, Nyon - Geneve PLO beat Lausanne UC by 18 points to 6 to lift the Swiss Cup 2015-2016.

In a rematch of the LNA semi-final, RC Geneve Plan Les Ouates (GPLO) faced Lausanne University Club (LUC) on Saturday, June 25th for the Swiss Cup final on neutral ground in Nyon.
