Defeat for ATSV Habenhausen: Bielefeld triumphs 32:22!
On August 30, 2025, ATSV Habenhausen suffered a bitter defeat against TSG A-H Bielefeld. With a final score of 22:32 (12:16), the opponent proved to be one of the strongest teams in the current season of the 3rd handball league. Coach Matthias Ruckh himself rates Bielefeld as one of the top four teams in the league and was dissatisfied with his team's performance, especially in the last 15 minutes of the game when the deficit continued to grow. This was the first defeat for Habenhausen this season after they had fought a hard-fought draw against VfL Fredenbeck on the previous match day, which ended 22:22. There, too, Ruckh had already realized that his team still had a lot of work to do.
The game against Bielefeld started promisingly. In the 21st minute, Habenhausen was able to catch up from a 7:8 deficit to 9:8. But the joy didn't last long, as Bielefeld pulled ahead to 15:9 by the 28th minute and punished Bremen's many mistakes. The loss of Niklas Mühlenbruch, who had to leave the field due to a knee injury, was particularly painful. Despite strong performances from substitutes Paul Bonnet and Leon Grieme, ATSV was unable to reduce the deficit.
Outlook for the season
For the 2025/26 season, ATSV Habenhausen will remain in the North-West tier of the 3rd league. The division of the season was recently decided after there were delays due to a catch-up game in the 2nd Bundesliga. Ruckh is optimistic about the planning security and the new field of participants, which also includes teams such as Ahlener SG, OHV Aurich and VfL Eintracht Hagen II. A total of 16 teams are playing in the relay, and the upcoming encounters promise exciting duels. What is particularly noteworthy is that the new arrangements mean shorter journeys for the fans, which Malte Rodiek mentioned positively.
Ruckh emphasizes that his young team needs time to develop further. In the previous season, ATSV finished in 8th place as a promoted team. It will be interesting to see how the team performs in this new challenge. The next game will show whether the team can capitalize on the lessons learned from the game against Bielefeld.
With a committed performance and the will to constantly improve, ATSV Habenhausen could still surprise despite the setbacks so far. The coach remains optimistic and emphasizes that the first 20 minutes of the game against Bielefeld left a positive impression that needs to be built on. The support of the fans will certainly be of great importance.
