Disappointment in handball: HLZ Friesenheim-Hochdorf is clearly defeated!
On October 6, 2025, the HLZ Friesenheim-Hochdorf team suffered a bitter defeat in the third handball league. The hosts lost clearly against the Bergische Panthers in front of 100 spectators with 19:29 (9:15). After the game, coach Gabriel Schmiedt was dissatisfied with his boys' performance and said: "We played the way the training week was."
The foundation for failure was apparently laid at HLZ during the preparatory week. With only eight field players in the final training, the coach's alternatives were severely limited. While the Bergische Panthers played their game consistently, the HLZ team was only able to keep up for about 15 minutes before their performance dropped. The visitors' practiced 3-2-1 defense surprised the home team, who couldn't cope with it.
Key actions and missing returns
Roko Peribonio was replaced in goal by Philipp Wenning after 20 minutes, but this change did not lead to an improvement either. On the Bergische Panther side, coach Alexander Oelze praised his team's “adult” performance, while the HLZ side was disappointed after the final whistle. Coach Schmiedt is now hoping for a better week of training to correct the mistakes.

In the 3rd league the games are played in the first and second rounds. The first two places qualify for the promotion round, while the last three places are relegated directly.
