Krefeld The team starts on Saturday with the home game against Mettmann-Sport in the promotion round to the regional league. Training and games are currently taking place in the sports hall of the Kurt Tucholsky Comprehensive School.
(MaHa) The SC Bayer Uerdingen basketball team will start their promotion round to the regional league on Saturday with the home game against Mettmann-Sport. However, they cannot compete in their “living room” (Josef-Koerver-Halle) because refugees from the Ukraine are housed there. The basketball department’s training sessions and games now take place in the sports hall of the Kurt-Tucholsky Comprehensive School on Gladbacher Strasse.

According to captain Robin Naber, the Uerdingers want to get promoted in the remaining six games. The Uerding team took six points from the preliminary round games against TuS Maccabi Düsseldorf and SV Alte Freunde Düsseldorf and thus have a good starting position.

Now Mahmoud Al Abed’s team meets the three premier league teams from the other group. Mettmann-Sport, TuS Hilden and TVJ Königshardt have qualified. TuS Hilden took all possible eight points from the preliminary round, TuS Maccabi Düsseldorf and SC Bayer 05 Uerdingen six each and Mettmann-Sport four points. TVJ Königshardt and SV Alte Freunde Düsseldorf are not taking any points from the preliminary round.

But the people of Uerding are secretly hoping for a double promotion: Because the second team will also start in the promotion round to the Oberliga next weekend. However, you could only get promoted if the 1st team actually made the jump to the regional league. Philipp Potz’s team has created a brilliant starting position and takes eight points from the preliminary round into the promotion round. The away game at TUSA Düsseldorf starts on March 20th. Here, too, the season ends on May 14,
