TRUN. The second half of the first badminton Bundesliga begins for ASKÖ Traun with a home game against WAT Simmering on Saturday, January 10th, at 4 p.m. in the Traun sports center. After the clear 1:7 defeat in the first half of the season in Simmering, the Upper Austrians now have a landmark duel. While Simmering is currently in third place, Traun is in fourth place.
With a view to the season goal of the semi-finals, the starting position is clear. “Every game counts, and especially against Simmering we want to show our fans that we are starting the second half of the season with determination,” emphasizes team manager Herbert Koch. “Our goal is clear: We want to consolidate our position in the top 4 and thus secure a chance of reaching the semi-finals.”
Particularly in the winter, possible absences due to illness represent an additional challenge. The team is nevertheless confident: “The health of our players is top priority, but we are motivated to take on this challenge.” The hope lies in the home advantage – and the support from the stands. “Loud fans can give us the boost we need – together we want to celebrate a strong start to the second half of the season!”
