Steinmühlen Soccer Team Wins City Finals of “Youth Trains for the Olympics”

Great joy for our 6th- and 7th-grade soccer players: With a 3-1 victory over the favored Elisabethschule and a 1-1 draw against the Martin-Luther-Schule, our Competition Class II “Youth Trains for the Olympics” team secured a spot in the district finals on October 12. Coached by Bernd Schweitzer and Dirk Konnertz, the team was wide awake from the start at the city finals at Georg-Gassmann Stadium and played as a cohesive unit. Although no preparation was possible due to the proximity of the summer break and subsequent school trips, the team played well together and didn’t let a 0–1 deficit in the first game faze them. While it was a team effort, special mention must be made of the outstanding performance by Lasse Schweitzer, who scored three of the four goals that secured the tournament victory.

The following athletes were successful: Arthur Böning, Ben Borawski, Felix Bork, Julius Brückmann, Len Hülsbeck, Tiemo Irmisch, Jonah Isenberg, Felix Martens, Jonas Mierisch, Rafael Piller, Fabian Preis, Lasse Schweitzer, Paul Sondergeld, Ben Templer, and Moritz Wagner.
