On the third day of the match he caught the Hanau Hornets in the football league. At the Fulda Saints it was the first defeat of the season and it was immediately clear. The Rhein-Main Rockets, on the other hand, got back on the road to success with a win at the Neuwied Rockland Raiders.
Offenbach – Victory and defeat for the football top division from the region: While the Rhein-Main Rockets from Offenbach (group center) returned to success with a 34:14 win against the Neuwied Rockland Raiders with no points, there was for Hanau Hornets in the pursuit duel of the Eastern group to get nothing. In the ambitious, but up to then pointless Fulda Saints, the “Hornets” suffered their first defeat of the season with 8:35.
With the Hanauers, the lack of veterans Richard Nelson and Alexander Höhl was noticeable. “If you are missing two old warriors in a young team, it is difficult to compensate,” said press spokesman Achim Korn. However, Rick Holland did not want to use this as an excuse: “Welcome to reality”, said the head coach after the game when addressing his team, which was caught off guard by Fulda and was quickly behind at 0:13. It was 2:13 after the first quarter. In the second section, Hanau shortened to 8:13 with a run by Tettey Awah and was now back within reach. But the Hornets didn’t really get going. “We didn’t manage to set the tone in this phase of the game,” said Lukas Ludewig, Vice President of the Hanau Hornets, quarreled. (cd)
