A draw and even a narrow victory were possible. Only a lack of an individual victory separated the Hertha Walheim men’s judo team from the first big surprise at the start of the season. In the end, the host had to separate from the championship candidate of the first Bundesliga group North West, TV Remscheid, 6:8 in the full sports hall of the Inda-Gymnasium.

At the start, a heavyweight is waiting for the “Schmiede”
Where did the home team, trained by the duo Lars Entgens and Arthur Westerkamp, leave the point? Discussing this seems pointless. Was it Kjell Kämmers (66 kg) who only lost to his opponent in extra time (see list of results)? Or Arthur Akopjan (73 kg), who was just crowned German champion and lost one of his two fights? In any case, after losing the first leg 2:5, the hosts brought home a 4:3 in the second half and only narrowly missed the huge surprise.
In the meantime, even after being significantly behind, they had reached a 6:6, but it wasn’t enough for the hosts to achieve the “final knockdown” in front of a frenzied crowd. The people of Remscheid have a reputation for buying up pretty much everything in the Republic and abroad that has a reputation. Like, for example, ex-Herthaner Igor Mbakom, who won his fight (heavyweight) against newcomer Marc Schatten from Walheim via Ippon after a good two minutes of fighting time. In contrast, Herthan’s Bart Weling (60 kg) won twice. In both cases he succeeded prematurely. Herthan’s Joes Schell also became a double winner in his class, winning twice in the class up to 100 kg. Coach Lars Entgens had no reason to be sad: “No, we are not dissatisfied at all. If someone had predicted a 6:8 for me in advance, I would have signed it straight away,” said the coach.
For the coach, the fact that there wasn’t enough to count in the final result was due to “a few wasted points in the drastic first half of the season,” explained Entgens. But the outsiders from Walheim also got something good out of the narrow defeat. “We delivered a decent result. “That shows our breadth and willingness,” remarked the coach, referring to the second half of the season, which they ultimately won 4-3 against the league’s top favorites.
