Solingen Paladins: Local League Victory

Köln. An opponent who urgently needed the first points on the way to the third division class. The unusual game date under floodlights on Friday evening. Unusual artificial turf as a surface. The paladins at the Cologne Falcons did not do all of this from their current success-the 49:14 (14: 0, 14:14, 14: 0, 7: 0) in the shadow of the Rheinenergie stadium meant the third victory in a row. “It was a deserved victory, which we paid expensive with many injuries,” said press spokesman Jens Merten.

Small deep after early double strike

Within 25 seconds, the guests accompanied by 150 fans in a total of 200 fans were allowed to cheer twice in the first quarter. Kobe Miranda on the pass of the precise conducting quarterback Kai Rosin and Kee Whetzel provided the 14-0 lead after ten minutes, including the successful kicks. The touchdown of the American, who dug the play equipment in its end zone, was spectacular. The initial running game had been brilliantly compensated for.

Serious failure of a top performer

However, it was not without any setbacks: Runningback Cedric Picard, until then appeared with several strong appearances, was injured in an acrobatic action. He was treated longer in the field, then eliminated. “Cedric’s injury hits us hard. He has carried our running game almost alone in the past two games,” hopes Runningback coach Mike Opretzka for an early comeback.

The second part of the game continued in terms of sport – new signing Anthony Cesar marked the third touchdown of the evening with an energetic run. What followed the 21-0 was a small deep of the team of chief coach Alexander Thomas, who, after the Cologne result, again took note of a high degree of concentration at 14:21.

The focus: Quarterback Kai Rosin convinced

In cooperation with playmaker Kai Rosin, the passport recipients caused a lot of pressure. As proof of this, Noah Robach won the fourth six on Rosin-Pass-like before three times, Lucas Busch’s kick was again.

In the second round, this ensured the 35:14 together with Tom van Duijn as a kicker – the decision had been made. Especially since there was hardly any nakedness on the defensive, the conquest of the ball by Kee Whetzel was an example of the effectiveness. Defense coach Andreas Oelker saw almost an error-free performance in half two despite injury-related failures.

Which was reflected on the offensive when Whetzel, Rosin and Thilo Lindenberg prepared the way to increase the result of Christoph Jansen. As with the final touchdown through the outstanding Lindenberg, Lucas Busch again hit the end of the poles. “Overall, it was a convincing and closed appearance,” said Alexander Thomas.

This is what the remaining program looks like

As a fourth in the table with a balanced point account – after three defeats and then three wins – the paladins still play a game before the summer break. On Sunday (July 6th) the exam at the Assindia Cardinals in the Essen sports park on the hello is on the program from 3 p.m.

The final sprint will then take place from August 24th: First at the Cologne Crocodiles (2 p.m.), then in the Walder stadium against the Troisdorf Jets (31 August, 3 p.m.) and the falcons that are now clearly conquered (September 6, 4 p.m.).
