The Hildesheim Invaders lost the Lower Saxony Sender in GFL 1 against the New York Lions with 10:34. 2500 fans still celebrated their team.
The 2025 season in the GFL 1 of the American footballers is a used one for the Hildesheim Invaders. Many injured, two coaches and only four victories in eleven games. That is not enough to participate in the play-offs. That would have been possible, but the Hildesheimers lost the Lower Saxony endby clearly with 10:34 against the New York Lions from Braunschweig on Saturday. The Invaders have been drawn in the stadium of football team VfV 06 for this football trolley. That was the right decision because only 1500 fans fit in the Helios Homefield of the Invaders. The Hildesheimers also had the upper hand in the ranks. This time the guests were accompanied by 300 fans. It usually looked different in recent years.
It was also good for the Hildesheimers in terms of sport. Tristan Eikenberg gave the Invaders 3-0 with a Fieldgoal. With a touchdown, however, the guests were able to shoot the game in the first quarter to 3: 6. In the second quarter, the lack of Hildesheim’s quarterback Nelson Hughes was noticeable. The Invaders-Orese did not get into play. Braunschweig was able to expand the tour to 20: 3 with two touchdowns. That was a small preliminary decision on the way to the half -time break. After the change of sides, the guests added and increased from 27: 3. The Hildesheimers never gave up and were rewarded in the third quarter. Quartback Hendrik Scharnbacher found Wide Receiver Pieter Solf. The two own plants ensured the highlight from Hildesheim’s point of view. Touchdown for the Invaders. Eikenberg scored the extra point and it was only 10:27.
However, it was no longer possible to think about a turn, also because Braunschweig’s wide receiver Michael Breuler could not be stopped. With his touchdown, Breuler provided the 10: 34 final score. “In the end, the defeat is a bit too high, but it was a reflection of the season today. We had great bad luck this year, we couldn’t compensate for that,” said team manager Dominic May. Due to the defeat in the Lower Saxony Sendby, the Invaders now have no chance of participating in the play-offs again. The Hildesheimers have nothing to do with the descent. Planning for the coming 2026 season is already underway. With head coach Marcus Herford, who only took over the team again after the fourth matchday, the contract is to be extended according to Sport news information. Before that, the last game of the season at Berlin Rebels is pending.
