Handball derby
Hungry foxes also devoured tame Lipizzaner horses
The omens ahead of the Bärnbach/Köflach vs. Bruck-Trofaiach handball derby could not have been clearer. On the one hand, the home side, who are staggering from one defeat to the next in the HLA. On the other: the BT Füchse, who are riding a wave of success. In the end, the result was as clear as the starting position.
Only two defeats, but already seven wins before the Styrian duel kicked off on Saturday evening in the very well-filled Bärnbach sports hall. The Foxes had already beaten their rivals twice last season: Breg and Co. won both games (33:26, 37:32). Bruck-Trofaiach's confidence was therefore correspondingly high.
When the home side went 2:0 ahead, everyone in the arena was still looking out of their depth - "that was a top start from us," said Bärnbach's Alex Gollner. "But unfortunately we missed easy chances in attack," said the playmaker with the score at 11:15 at the break. Bärnbach's sporting director Wolfgang Smon also scratched his head. "Eleven goals? That's not enough, unfortunately."
Duel at the top
But giving up was not an option for the Lipizzaner: In a racy derby with two top goalies, Bakovic (Bärnbach/K.) and Mitterdorfer (Füchse), the home side, who also suffered an ankle injury to Beciri, stayed in contention - but the Füchse were more cool-headed, biting again. 33:27, derby victory - and thus within one point of leaders Krems! The next home game in the Fuchsbau (27. 11.) will be a direct duel at the top. "It can go on like this," cheered top scorer Thomas Kuhn (ten goals), "we've shown who's number one in Styria!"
