Marburg/Munich – On Saturday, July 8, 2023 (kickoff: 4 p.m.), the Marburg Mercenaries will meet the Munich Cowboys away for the second leg of the German Football League.
This will be a decisive game for a possible relegation place in the GFL Group South. The Mercenaries are at the end of the table with 0:10 points, the Ravensburg Razorbacks are next to last with 2:10 points, then the Cowboys come with 2:8 points. Both teams have their only wins against Marburg and they need to win at least one of the two second legs higher than the first leg losses to move from last place in the table.
The Mercenaries had lost their home game against the Cowboys with 7:18, so it is important to win by a difference of more than 11. The omens are extremely bad: The Mercenaries have now parted ways with the starting quarterback from the first leg, Danny Farley, Deyleon Williams is suspended after being sent off from the Comets game and Darius Lewis left Marburg for Finland at short notice for a coaching job. There are also injured players like the two wide receivers Niklas Fengler and Eritros Haggi.
Nevertheless, Marburg’s head coach Augie Stevens is confident: “In the last game against the undefeated leaders from the Allgäu, we came very close to winning and surprised many with that. Elliot Bodman gave our offense new impetus as quarterback and the defense did a great job. The players realized how close they came to winning and they will give everything in Munich to finally win again.”
Sports director Michael Dalkowski laconically comments on Lewis’ short-term departure: “You shouldn’t hold up travelers and there’s no point in trying to keep a player against his will. Darius has a unique opportunity that we don’t want to spoil. And he even played both ways in the last game and showed that he gave everything for his team until the end.”
