In the final stage of the Leuven Club Championship 2023, four players had qualified for the semi-finals thanks to their performance in the Leuven Monthly tournaments of 2023: Markus Förster (Brussels), winner of the Winter season, Toon Van Herreweghen (Leuven), winner of the Spring season, Daniel Rozenberg (Brussels), winner of the Autumn season, and Henri Pollet (Leuven), the player with the highest ranking overall apart from the three already mentioned players.
On Sunday, December 17, these four gladiators entered the arena in Squash Club De Vaart, Wilsele, for some fierce dice battles. Nine-point matches would decide upon the laureates.
