Kaufering / Denklingen - It's good that it's winter break now or soon. At the end of a long first half of the season, the two district league teams from the district are looking forward to their football-free time. Both are heading into the new year as leaders, but they don't need a weekend like last one again. VfL Kaufering suffered the second defeat in a row on the penultimate match day of the Schwaben group against Bobingen and VfL Denklingen was condemned to watch on the last match day of the Oberbayern group: The top game in Raisting had to be postponed to March due to a corona case.
Cheap excuses - that is not Ben Enthart's nature. “Bobingen was better than us both in the first leg and now. You have to accept that in terms of sport, ”said the VfL Kaufering coach after the 1: 3 on Saturday. “They are stable at the back, are strong in midfield and always dangerous up front” - those were the reasons for a “completely deserved defeat.” For the first time in the current season, Kaufering lost two games in a row after the 2-1 draw against Erkheim - anyway VfL is still seven points ahead of Bobingen and Erkheim (was free of play at the weekend and played one game less).
Man of the day in Bobingen was top striker Florian Gebert, who single-handedly defeated the Enthart team.
The striker was surprisingly not in the starting line-up and was only brought on in the second half (when Kaufering led 1-0 with a goal from Daniel Rimmer).
And the best goalscorer in the Schwaben district league immediately showed what he can do.
With a lightning hat trick within just twelve minutes (60th to 72nd), the 21-year-old Bobinger made the decision.

The table leader of the district league Swabia has to compete again this year.
On Saturday (2 p.m.) the home game against table tenth TSV Babenhausen (came under the wheels 0: 5 in the first leg against VfL) is on the schedule.
However, in view of the current Corona situation, it is still open whether the game can take place as planned: “From a sporting point of view, it's not a problem.
If it should snow, we can play on the artificial turf, ”says the Kauferinger coach.
“But we don't yet know which guidelines exist from politics and how we can then implement them.” As mentioned at the beginning: It's high time for the winter break!
Corona in the team
And this break has already begun at VfL Denklingen. The top game in Raisting would have been the last in 2021. But the people from Denklingen had to cancel that: “We still trained with a full band on Thursday, 17 men were in training. Then on Friday came the news that a player had tested positive for Corona. Therefore, the board decided to postpone the game in consultation with Raisting and the playgroup leader, ”says VfL coach Markus Ansorge. The new date is Sunday, March 6, 2022 (3 p.m.). The coach: “What a shame. I would have liked to have played with extensive tests, but the risk was simply too great. "Addition:" Raisting agreed immediately "- the SVR is currently having major personnel problems ...
"Finally vacation, now that is good for everyone after many exhausting months," says Ansorge happily after the "most successful year in the history of the club in Denklingen." Competed) with one point ahead of SC Oberweikertshofen and two points on SpVgg Haidhausen as the leader of the table.
A great performance that no one would have expected the promoted team to do before the season started.
Ansorge will use the next few weeks to develop training concepts: “It will be a difficult second half for us.
We have to be well prepared, ”he says.
