For the tenth time in a row, Berlin Recycling Volleys and VfB Friedrichshafen will face off in the final of the German championship.
The southern Germans prevailed 3:1 (25:20, 22:25, 25:17, 25:22) in the semifinals against SVG Lüneburg on Sunday. Defending champion Berlin had already bought their ticket against SWD Powervolleys Düren last week (3-0).
In the final series (best of five), the Berlin team coached by Cedric Enard has the chance to draw level with record winners Friedrichshafen (13) after winning titles. The BR Volleys had recently become champions six times in a row.
Friedrichshafen also had to do without Marcus Böhme in the fourth duel with Lüneburg. The middle blocker was still missing due to circulatory problems in the hitting hand. According to the club, the 37-year-old will not be in the squad until the cause has been finally clarified
