Derby premiere in Ludwigshafen: WSV meets SC Neustadt!

An exciting weekend is coming up: WSV Vorwärts Ludwigshafen and SC Neustadt meet in the derby of the 2nd league. However, coach Oliver Görge is critical of the date for the game on May 6, 2023 and describes it as unfortunate. The duel will not only be the first home game for Ludwigshafen this season, but also an emotional moment as Jens Klose, a former player of both teams, has a special connection to this encounter. The anticipation for the game is high as things are always heated between the rival teams, as [Rheinpfalz] reported.

New season, new challenges

Meanwhile, the Kaiserslauterer Schwimmsportklub (KSK) is starting the new season with three teams. The water polo players are ready for their first appearance after a six-month break when they make their debut at SV 08 Saarbrücken on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. The new league is currently known as the “Regionalliga Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar” after the traditional names such as Oberliga and Verbandsliga were abolished. This renaming could cause confusion, but it also brings a breath of fresh air to the competition, as [Wochenblatt Reporter] explained. The KSK has also been active in sports before: the second team secured a few victories last season, and the first team is aiming for a place among the favorites.

The louder crocodiles have particularly concentrated on strengthening their offspring by sending a B youth team into the race for the first time in years. This means there are more opportunities for young talents to demonstrate their skills in competitive games. While the first team focuses on its resurgence in the league, the second team will be considered underdogs in the coming games. Fans can look forward to an exciting season that offers many challenges and unexpected twists.
