THE STEINMÜHLEN TEAM TAKES THE COURT FOR THE FIRST TIME AND SCORES A POINT

In the WK II (1999–2002) district tennis tournament of the “Youth Trains for the Olympics” competition, the Steinmühle team qualified for the regional finals. At the TV Marburg club grounds, our tennis team shone in its first tournament appearance.In their first match against the Lahntalschule Biedenkopf, Steinmühle won every singles and doubles match by a wide margin. The Europaschule from Gladenbach then also secured a commanding victory over the Lahntalschule.

Bolstered by the confidence gained from their first match, our tennis team entered the decisive second round against Gladenbach. Things got particularly exciting after the singles matches, as Max and Carlos secured two of the four singles matches, while Steinmühle had to concede the other two to the strong Europaschule. The score was 2–2. Now, at least two wins out of the three remaining doubles matches were needed for an overall victory. The tension was written all over the players’ faces, as only the first-place team could qualify for the regional finals. Our team gave it their all, fought for every point, and was rewarded with a surprising three victories. 5–2 for Steinmühle. Huge joy at the end of a great day of tennis.

Congratulations to our tennis team!
