Dormagen Thanks to the catch-up games on Tuesday evening, the table of the 2nd handball Bundesliga is finally “even” again. Nordhorn lost in Coburg, so even before the game against TSV all hopes of promotion could be gone.
Thanks to the catch-up games on Tuesday evening, the table of the 2nd handball Bundesliga is finally “even” again before the last two days of the season – all 20 clubs have now played 36 games. And while a quartet still has to worry about having to go into the third division alongside EHV Aue and TV Emsdetten, who have already been relegated, a preliminary decision could have been made in the fight for the second promoted team after VfL Gummersbach, who have long been crowned champions. After their 28:31 defeat at HSC Coburg, HSG Nordhorn-Lingen is now three points behind ASV Hamm-Westfalen (44:28/47:25), who played in the local Westpress Arena on Friday evening (7:15 p.m.). could celebrate early promotion to the Bundesliga with a win over TV Großwallstadt. For the Nordhorner, who only got four points from the last nine league games (victories over Eulen Ludwigshafen and TV Großwallstadt), the last home game the next day (7.30 p.m., Euregium) against TSV Bayer Dormagen would only have statistical significance in this case.

It looks like the Nordhorners have mentally said goodbye to higher goals after the defeat. In any case, HSG player Georg Pöhle said: “We have put aside the focus on promotion and want to get back on track first. It’s about creating a positive end to the season – on Saturday against Dormagen with your own fans, and in the last game in Lübeck-Schwartau then especially for the players who are leaving us.” The Dormagen team travels with three wins on Saturday in a row in the back to Nordhorn and could avoid a “final” on the last matchday (June 11, 6 p.m.) against TuS Ferndorf with another one – if the Siegerlanders cannot successfully organize the local derby against VfL Gummersbach at the same time . Assuming a defeat of TV Großwallstadt the night before in Hamm, the Dormagen would be saved. The Eulen Ludwigshafen are also not sure of staying up in the league. In the catch-up game against Dessau-Roßlauer HV, they did not get beyond a 31:31 draw and now have 30 points on their account – one more than Dormagen, two more than Großwallstadt and Ferndorf. However, the first division relegated team, who only won one game in the last 17 (!) season (18:17 in Dormagen), has the supposedly easiest game on Friday against the already rescued HCE Rostock and the guest game at TV Emsdetten, which has already been relegated Remaining program of the relegation-threatened quartet. How unsettled the Owls still are despite the second change of coach of the current season – Michael Abt took over two weeks ago for the retired Michael Biegler – was shown in the final phase against Dessau, when they lost a 30:27 lead in the last four minutes.

While the third relegated from the 2nd league is still being sought, the two promoted teams have been certain since the weekend. VfL Potsdam under coach Bob Hanning won both final games against SG Pforzheim/Eutingen (30:25, 27:22), while HSG Konstanz made it extremely exciting: In the first leg at Wilhelmshaven HV the guests clearly led 21:9 at the break (!), but in the end “only” saved a 32:27 win across the finish line. In Constance it was exactly the opposite: WHV led 18:12 at the break and 34:27 three minutes before the final whistle. But a penalty converted by captain Tim Bornhauser in the final second gave HSG a 30:34 “tailored defeat” and a return to the second division. In which the TuS N-Lübbecke has to be relegated after a year in the upper house, the second relegated team is determined by HBW Balingen (15:47), GWD Minden (16:46) and the three days before the end of the season only theoretically endangered TVB Stuttgart (20: 42).

And a look at the bigger picture: The youngsters of the Rhein-Neckar Löwen, who had knocked out TSV Bayer Dormagen in the quarter-finals, became German champions of the A-Youth. In the final, the team around ex-Dormagener Matthis Blum prevailed against defending champion Füchse Berlin with 31:25 and 31:32. After the B-Jugend der Löwen had won the semi-final against TSV Bayer only because of the higher number of away goals (26:26, 23:23), they can now hope for the double, final opponent is SG Flensburg-Handewitt.
