ASV Hamm beats Wilhelmshaven: Huesmann shines with 17 goals!

On January 22nd, 2026, ASV Hamm-Westphalia played an exciting game in the 3rd handball league and defeated Wilhelmshavener HV with a clear 38:34. This exciting match was not only a hard-fought duel, but also a decisive step towards the big goal: promotion to the 1st Bundesliga. Captain Fabian Huesmann once again proved why he plays a key role for the team, as he scored an impressive 17 goals - a real motivator for his teammates and the first time since 2022 that he was able to achieve such a performance.

However, the first half was anything but glorious for ASV. With a temporary deficit of 1:6 and 4:11, the mood in the ranks of the Hamm players was subdued. “We simply didn’t score enough goals in the first half,” Huesmann summed up the situation. Coach Jamal Naji and managing director Markus Fuchs had to make clear announcements during the break to wake up the team for the second half.

Agile like a fish

In the second half, however, the ASV Hamm-Westfalen team showed its true colors. With a strong increase in performance, Huesmann ensured that the team immediately caught up and took control of the game. Thanks to many counter-attacks and precise finishes, the victory the fans longed for finally became reality.

Huesmann is optimistic about the upcoming games, especially with regard to the return of Ole Machner, who is out due to a long injury break. Niklas Neumann is available as a left winger, but he has professional obligations as a police officer, which could make his appearances in the next games more difficult.

The path to the 1st Bundesliga

With the clear goal of promotion to the 1st Bundesliga, ASV Hamm-Westphalia and its players, especially Huesmann and Machner, are firmly involved. Both recently extended their contracts by two years, which increases planning security for the coming seasons. The ASV will continue to do everything in its power to minimize the fundamental fluctuations in the game and to show consistent performance. The next game against the bottom of the league ATSV Habenhausen is already around the corner and will offer another opportunity to use the momentum and consolidate the lead in the table.

It remains exciting to see whether ASV Hamm-Westfalen, strengthened by their impressive performance and team structure, can achieve their goals. The fans are ready and the team has the potential - let's see what the coming weeks bring. Take a look at calf and asv-hamm-westfalen.de for more information!
