The gripping and high-class duel was on the knife edge until the final phase. Two minutes before the end, the guest equalized again at 30:30. Lübbecke’s handball players kept their nerves and came through the goals of Peter Strosack and Dominik Ebner to the home win – the right answer to the lost point on Sunday in Großwallstadt.

After the latest gift of points to TV Großwallstadt (21:21), the Lübbecker were eager to make amends and fought a duel at eye level with the equally strong guests from the first minute.
