HSG Delmenhorst disappointed with Dinklage: What now for the team?

HSG Delmenhorst suffered a bitter defeat against TV Dinklage last weekend. After a balanced first half, in which the game went into halftime with a score of 13:13, coach Jonas Meißner's team ultimately lost 27:31. Meissner was particularly disappointed with the defensive performance of his charges, who failed to show the necessary aggressiveness in crucial moments. “The defense didn’t hold up the way we wanted,” he said after the game.

HSG Delmenhorst showed a strong performance at the start of the game and took an early 3-0 and later 7-3 lead. Goalkeeper Silas Schumacher supported his team with an impressive eight saves until the 22nd minute. But the change in momentum came when Bastian Schäfer received a time penalty after 15 minutes. This visibly weakened the defense and led to an increased number of lost duels and an increase in technical errors. “Despite Sam Ramin’s attempt to get the rhythm going, we had difficulties,” stated Meissner.

Weaknesses in the game

The situation worsened when HSG fell from 24:25 to 24:28. This was the decisive moment that turned the game around. While some players like Marcel Cuda, Jannik Dallügge and Niklas Kowalzik had difficulty finding form, young talents like Marlin Hörner and Till Eisenmenger showed positive approaches. A commendable aspect was that Sam Ramin, despite his illness, is already thinking about a comeback and wants to be better planned for future games. Sohail Ramin, who was recently injured, also plans to return for the next game against TSV Bremervörde.

HSG Delmenhorst, which finished last season in eighth place in the Oberliga Nord, faces high expectations this season. The new season, which began on September 13, 2025 with a league game against OHV Aurich II, should offer an opportunity for the team to improve. “We want to finish in the top half of the table and build a clear system,” said coach Meißner at the start of the season. The team is enlivened by three new additions: Soheil Ramin, Mike Krause and Matis Tolck.

Pilot project with newcomers

In order to implement the desired dynamic and modern style of play, young talent was relied upon. Even though Lian Timmemann is no longer in the squad for professional reasons, Meißner sees the new additions as valuable support for the team's development. This season, the Oberliga includes 14 teams, including four promoted teams from association leagues as well as the regional league relegated team TV Schiffdorf, who many see as favorites. “This season will be anything but easy, but I am confident that we have the necessary quality,” emphasized Meißner.

The next games will show whether HSG Delmenhorst can achieve its goals. The focus is now on the upcoming duel against TSV Bremervörde, where the aim is to quickly heal the wounds of the defeat and find new freshness.

How the team will develop in this exciting season and whether it can stay in touch with the top remains to be seen. The HSG Delmenhorst has a duty and will give everything to meet its sporting ambitions.
