SOUTH HESSEN – southern Hesse (udo). Two match points would have been enough for the men’s 55 of the TEC Darmstadt to win the championship. They were also broken in quickly, in the end a 7:2 victory at BW Bad Soden provided the last reason for an atmospheric group picture and a promotion celebration. “Actually, we had aimed at staying up, now we’ve just made it earlier than planned,” summed up team captain Uwe Becker, who hopes for reinforcements from the current men’s 50 team for next year in the 2nd regional league, but they are out the Verbandsliga has been relegated.
He himself and Bernhard Wagner got the quick points, Oliver Böhm, Johann von Keussler and Michael Jancik followed up on the early decision in Bad Soden.
SV Darmstadt-Eberstadt finished the season in third place in the group of five. In the final 6:3 at BW Wiesbaden, Frank Hänsel, Markus Stefan Kern, Steffen Doenitz and Dirk Mroczek got the individual points, the doubles Hänsel/Steffen Friedel and Doenitz/Oliver Lewald followed up.
For the men 30 of the SG Arheilgen it was no longer enough for the championship despite the 9:0 home win against TK Langen. Because, as captain Oliver Göttlich suspected before the weekend, TEVC Kronberg “wouldn’t let the butter be taken off the bread”. The 7:2 victory of the champion team sealed the relegation of TEC Darmstadt, for which only Tim Janke could score in singles, before the doubles were divided without a fight.
In the men’s 40s, the southern Hessian teams end the round as a three-pack in midfield. SG Arheilgen, who did not play at the season finale, is third in the table, followed by TC Groß-Zimmern despite the 3:6 home defeat against Messeler TC, which in turn drew level on points (8:8). After Christian Boenke, Kai Kolmer and Mark Faig had scored in the first three individual positions for Groß-Zimmern and Oliver Strupp, Axel Seewaldt and Manuel Spieß for Messel, the guests also secured all three doubles and thus prevented relegation. Because from the group of nine, four teams had to go into the association league.
