HSG Varel celebrates a narrow victory in the handball derby against ATSV Habenhausen!
On Saturday evening, an exciting handball derby took place in the Hinni Schwenker Hall, which attracted many spectators. ATSV Habenhausen met HSG Varel and ultimately had to admit defeat 25:28. This defeat was the first win of the season for HSG Varel, which improved to 3:5 points, while Habenhausen now has 3:7 points. Even though the ATSV was able to celebrate a narrow 32:30 victory against Team HandbALL Lippe II last week, the current game brought reality back down to earth.
Coach Matthias Ruckh was disappointed with his team's performance after the game. The large number of mistakes particularly stood out: in the first half, the team made 14 missed throws and eight technical errors. Despite these shortcomings, the ATSV initially stayed in touch, but was unable to take the lead. The half-time score of 10:14 for the guests was the expression of a mixed first half in which the team was not able to exploit its full potential.
