First point for TB Burgsteinfurt: 8: 8 against TTC Herne-Vöde!

An exciting duel in the NRW league ended with a disappointing draw for TB Burgsteinfurt! The team secured the first point in the eighth game of the season, but the 8: 8 against the TTC Herne-Vöde brings little joy to both teams. They continue to remain without victory and prove the last places in the table. A bitter result for the Burgsteinfurter who had hoped for more!

"We had calculated more. The draw is in accordance with performance," said team spokesman Tim Beuing after the game. Beuing and Yorrick Michaelis demonstrated nerve strength in a gripping final double and secured at least the draw with a 3-1 win against Christoph Haacke and Aaron Brunsmann. The hosts were particularly strong in the doubles: Michaelis/Beuing and Jörg Bäumer/Franz Weitkamp ensured an early 2-1 lead. Michaelis and Beuing expanded the lead with victories over Nico Zimon and Haacke to 4: 1. Franz Weitkamp contributed two more points to 5: 3 and later to 7: 7. Max Kruse, who returned after his injury, secured the eighth point in a gripping five-set match against Marcel Kautz.

A look into the future

"Of course that's too little, but we'll see how the next games develop before the winter break," continued Beuing. The Burgsteinfurter now urgently need to increase so as not to continue to sit down in the table cellar. The next games could be decisive to bring about the turn and finally celebrate the first victory of the season!
