The flood that hit some parts of Luxembourg heavily last weekend also hit the basketball gym in Mersch. The floor of the gym is destroyed (picture) and needs to be renewed completely. All in all, the gym might not be available for 6-9 months according to Black Star Mersch. At the moment, the club and the commune are looking for a solution where the basketball and handball club can practice and play their games next season.
Just before the water arrived, the commune tried to stop the water from entering the building with sand (picture), but the sand was not able to stop the water.
