B-Team from TTC Berlin Eastside controls Kolbermoor
Berlin (dpa / bb) – Two days after the surprising 2: 3 home defeat in the Champions League against ASC Quattro Mori Cagliari (Italy), the TTC Berlin Eastside in the Bundesliga on Sunday failed rehabilitation. In front of 150 spectators in the Anton-Saefkow-Platz sports hall in Lichtenberg, coach Irina Palina’s team suffered a 4:6 defeat in a top duel against long-term rival DJK Kolbermoor on Sunday.
Without Nina Mittelham and Xiaona Shan, who are in the Champions League due to their temporary guest engagements in Japan but only eligible to play in the Bundesliga again next spring, Eastside went in the B line-up with Sabina Surjan, Kathrin Mühlbach, Ran Li Kath and the 13-year-old Josephina Neumann to the plate. The Berliners kept up until 4:4 before the decision was made in the last two singles.
