After the breakthrough of KV lohengrin kulmbach into the bavarian league, the derby against baur-SV burgkunstadt will take place on sunday at 2 p.M. In kulmbach. The team from schuhstadt has been established in the bavarian league for many years and has good chances to reach a top position.
In contrast, the only thing that pays off for the lohengriners is to stay in the league. The kulmbach remain true to their line after the promotion and rely on hopeful young bowlers. Consequently, florian landel was called up to the bayernliga team. The team also includes the U23 players alexander lutz and patrick foerster as well as team leaders stephan wagner and jorg fortsch. The bavarian league team is completed by the experienced players gerald gebhard and matthias meubgeyer. And they have respect for the upcoming tasks. " this is a very strong league", says meubgeyer. Only hirschau is weaker in terms of personnel compared to the previous season.
Favorites are luhe-wildenau, bavaria karlstadt and – meubgeyer’s secret tip – polizei-SV bamberg. The promoted teams from herschfeld and eschlkam have each strengthened themselves with a bundesliga player. In addition, the former bundesliga teams eibach and furth will be the future opponents of the kulmbach team.
"If we can improve once again and make the most of our home strength, the impossible – staying in the league – is possible", says meubgeyer. The strong substitutes of the kulmbach team could also be a trump card. Thus with hubert lauterbach, harald graf, matthias hahn, joachim meyer and thomas weber concentrated routine stands to the verfugung.
