ASV Hamm-Westfalen is the second promoted team in the Handball Bundesliga (HBL).
With a 34:27 (17:16) against TV Großwallstadt, ASV consolidated second place in the table on Friday and made the return to the top division perfect.
Eleven years ago, the team, then still under the name HSG Ahlen-Hamm, was relegated to the second division.
Hamm-Westphalia follows VfL Gummersbach in the Bundesliga. The twelve-time German champions made their return prematurely clear at the beginning of May.
