Cologne/Hamburg. The Junior Devils team was only formed two years ago. Now he has a huge success in the playoff game in Cologne.
When the game first finished in a few minutes around 25 completely wet and sweaty young men gathered in front of her Head coachwhich summed up the huge success in just a few words: “From zero to GFL in two years”.
The game that had just ended was a huge success for the Junior Devils, the U19 football team Hamburg Blue Devils. In the second playoff game in the shadow of the RheinEnergie Stadium in Cologne on Saturday afternoon, the Hamburg team clearly beat the hosts Cologne Falcons 33:6 and thus achieved promotion to the Junior Bundesliga, German Football League (GFL) Juniors.
Team plays confident season without defeat
Head coach Toby Kordt’s team only came together two years ago and has now achieved its big goal in its second season. After a confident season without defeat, the Junior Devils had defeated the Spandau Bulldogs from Berlin in the first playoff on their own facility at Kroonhorst a week earlier and now made everything clear in Cologne for the coming season in the top German league.
There they will then meet teams from Düsseldorf, Berlin and Potsdam, among others. And the derby against the Hamburg Huskies should also be particularly exciting.
First fast food, but then training starts again
The coaches have one for the return trip to Hamburg with the six minibuses stopover approved at McDonalds, but the players then decided on KFC. But the trainers have also made it clear that training will resume next week. “So that the boys have reason to celebrate again next year.” In their third year as a team. And in her first year in the GFL.
