<\/a><\/p>\nOver the past five years, the Steinm\u00fchlen soccer teams in Competition Class II of the \u201cYouth Trains for the Olympics\u201d program have advanced at least to the regional round\u2014but this year, the journey ended at the city level for the players born in 2003 and 2004. Unfortunately, three key players were absent due to injuries and a stay abroad, though this should in no way detract from the strong performance of the Martin Luther School team, led by their outstanding player Linus Gs\u00f6llpointner. The team won all four games in a very strong and evenly matched field, thereby clearly qualifying for the district finals. <\/p>\n
Taking both tournaments together, Steinm\u00fchle was the strongest of all the Marburg schools overall, as it also took second place in Competition Class III (born in 2005 and 2006) among the five Marburg schools. It wasn\u2019t until the final, decisive match that the Elisabethschule prevailed, defeating Steinm\u00fchle 2\u20130. Up until that matchup, neither team had conceded a goal. <\/p>\n
All the coaches agreed that this year\u2019s two tournaments were of a very high standard. Despite the sweltering heat, the players on the Steinm\u00fchlen teams showed great enthusiasm, team spirit, and tremendous fighting spirit\u2014and we can be very proud of our two second-place finishes! <\/p>\n
