For a little more than 20 minutes it looked as if SV UNION Halle-Neustadt could cause problems for league leaders HSG Blomberg-Lippe, but then the class prevailed. For BSV Sachsen Zwickau it became surprisingly clear in Neckarsulm.
As expected, the handball players from SV UNION Halle-Neustadt lost the away game at HSG Blomberg-Lippe. On Tuesday (December 30, 2025), the “Wildcats” lost 23:34 (13:17) and are still waiting for their first point of the season after nine games.
After a short period of discovery (1:4/5th minute), Ines Seidler’s team kept up well and at times acted on an equal footing with the league leaders. Thanks to an aggressive defense, Halle repeatedly posed problems for their opponents. After 22 minutes it was 10:10. But then the favorite shifted up a gear shortly before the break, and the mistakes from the Saxony Anhalts increased. So we went into the break with a four-goal deficit.
After the break it becomes clear
The “Wildcats” found it difficult to get back into the game, and the hosts were now gaining ground. Only three goals in the first ten minutes of the second period allowed the deficit to grow further. Again and again the attack was played too hastily and finished too hastily. In the end the defeat became clear. The best thrower of the game was Ona Vegue Pena for Blomberg with seven goals. Emma Hertha was the most successful for Halle with five goals.
Next weekend, SV UNION will continue at home with the basement duel against Buxtehuder SV. If the Seidler team can build on the first 20 minutes from the Blomberg game, the chances of getting their first points this season are good.
BSV Sachsen Zwickau goes down in Neckarsulm
The handball players of BSV Sachsen Zwickau suffered a significant defeat at the end of the year. At the Sportunion Neckarsulm the score was 22:35 (10:18) after the last 60 minutes of handball of the year.
The Zwickau team started the game with mistakes, quickly fell behind by three goals and needed almost five minutes before Charlotte Kähr scored the first goal. The false start prompted coach Norman Rentsch to call the first timeout after nine minutes with the score at 2:6, in which he made it clear to his team that he did not agree with the performance.
That didn’t change much about the course of the game: the hosts continued to take advantage of the mistakes and continued to pull away. In particular, Antje Döll, who was recognized before the game for her achievements at the World Cup, was consistently successful (6 goals in the first half). So it went to the locker rooms at 10:18.
Game continues
After the break it continued in the same style. While Zwickau had major problems in the build-up game and when finishing and only managed to put 40% of their shots into the goal, the Neckarsulm team made even more use of the open spaces and were already +12 after 40 minutes.
Zwickau didn’t give up and tried again and again in the final moments of the game to make the result look a little more conciliatory. However, the hosts always found a quick answer with the second row on the board. At least the final point remained Zwickau: Silje Brons Petersen scored from the backcourt to make the final score 22:35.
