River Rats in a duel against Kempten: outsider chance for a surprise!
The Geretsrieder River Rats were defeated 2-4 in a home game against ESV Kempten on November 10th. This defeat reflects the River Rats' up-and-down season so far, which currently hovers between 1st and 15th in the table. Coach Hans Tauber Jr. is concerned about the next game against Kempten on Sunday at 5:30 p.m. and describes the team from Kempten as one of the strongest in the Bayernliga.
Kempten has stabilized between places 2 and 4 since the 5th matchday and impressed with solid statistics. ESV Kempten's top scorer, Sergej Topol, has scored 27 points so far. Anton Zimmer, Florian Stauder and Florian Höfler are also among the team's other top performers. Filip Kokoska strengthens the offense, while Tomas Kulhanek plays an important role in defense. Kempten has also signed Johannes Oswald, a talent from the Oberliga Nord. Hans Tauber sees the River Rats as clear underdogs in this upcoming duel.
Goals of the River Rats
The Geretsried team have won their last games against Miesbach (9:8 n.V.) and Klostersee (8:7 n.V.) and would like to show in Kempten that they are competitive. The River Rats' goal for the game is to keep the encounter open for a long time. With at least three points this weekend they could move up to 10th or 11th place in the table.
In addition, ice hockey fans from all over Germany came together in Geretsried shortly before Christmas 2024 to take part in the U13 XMAS Cup. The last U11 game of 2024 took place on December 26th in the free ice stadium in Holzkirchen. The ESC offspring presented themselves in a fighting spirit, even though the U11a had to compete against Riessersee in Garmisch on December 18th with rearranged ranks due to personnel shortages. Another sporting event took place on December 14, 2024, when eight runners took part in figure skating at the 14th Tölzer Oberland Cup. Livia achieved 4th place in Elements I, followed by Hannah and Marlene, which underlines the achievements of the young talent.
