Conciliatory conclusion for the Netzhoppers
The Netzhoppers KW-Bestensee managed a conciliatory end to the tournament. After two sobering defeats, the Brandenburg team prevailed in their last game in the placement round against TSV Haching Munich 2-0 (26:24, 25:18).
The Netzhoppers made fewer mistakes than in previous games, which led to a more confident appearance. “We didn’t give up hope. We knew: Haching didn’t perform the best over the weekend either. They also have a lot of injured and sick people and we tried to take advantage of that,” said Netzhoppers captain Djifa Amedegnato after the game.
The Supercup was the last acid test before the upcoming Bundesliga season. This begins for both the Volleys and the Netzhoppers on Friday, October 27th. Königs Wusterhausen has to compete in Lüneburg (7 p.m.). The Berliners welcome Giesen (8 p.m.).
