VfL Hameln A-Juniors shine in the home game: 48:28 against Vinnhorst II!

An impressive home performance by the A-Juniors of VfL Hameln, who celebrated a clear 48:28 against TuS Vinnhorst II last Sunday. Coach Sebastian Steup was visibly satisfied with his team's performance and particularly praised the concentrated defensive work and effectiveness in attack. After just six minutes, the Hamelin team led 5-2 and thus laid the foundation for their eventual victory. Thanks to a stable defense, the guests were unable to find any main attacking options and could only place throws from the wide positions.

Although Vinnhorst had a short phase of catching up and got to 7:8, VfL quickly pulled away again. Steup also referred to the successful interaction with the circle and the strong performance in outnumbered situations. After halftime, the Hamelin team continued to dominate the game and every field player contributed a goal to the impressive final score. Goalkeeper Ole Himler even showed a remarkable assist for his teammate Paul Barbisan.
