Career

[edit]Bujdosó started her career in 1957 in Vasas and remained with the Angyalföld-based team. She enjoyed her best spell in the seventies, when they won the Hungarian Championship for seven consecutive seasons (1972–1978) and capturing four Hungarian cup titles. In addition, she reached the final of the European Champions Cup 1978, but lost 19–14 to TSC Berlin.[2]
For her service, the loyal shot-stopper was awarded the Golden Ring of Vasas SC in 1991.[3]
