The women’s 30 squad from TuS TD 07 Lank enters the upcoming winter indoor season as the only team from Meerbusch competing in the Niederrheinliga. After securing a third-place finish last season, the team aims to maintain its position in the top division despite a challenging field.
Captain Amelie Bergstein acknowledged the difficulty of the campaign, noting that the addition of Bredeney as a strong promoted side makes the competition more intense. The team’s primary objective is to secure a spot in the safe mid-table region of the standings.
Personnel changes for the winter season
The Lankerinnen will face the winter rounds without their usual top-ranked player, Johanna Lambrich. Lambrich is scheduled to play for her primary club, Blau-Schwarz Düsseldorf, during the winter months. In her absence, Mirja Buch will step into the number one position in the lineup.
The remainder of the squad consists of captain Amelie Bergstein, Annika Schiffer, Silke Richard, Jill Lindhorst, Laura Schreiner, Annick Jansen, and Rosalie Bergstein.
