SG Flensburg-Handewitt beat THW Kiel 33:26 in the 110th Schleswig-Holstein derby. The win is the 40th success in the Northern Classic and the highest in the Bundesliga in the Kiel Arena.
The THW fell back to fifth place with 34:14 points and can probably write off a Champions League start in the coming season. The hosts had to do without Hendrik Pekeler at short notice. The defense specialist suffered a foot injury during training.
