 - Now it's official: The Bavarian Wrestling Association (BRV) has definitely canceled the points rounds in the various leagues after a consultation with the clubs a few days ago.

The season should have started on October 24th - but the small number of remaining teams left the association with no choice but to take this drastic step.

Of the 13 remaining clubs that were surveyed again, the bottom line was that there were only four clubs, including SV Siegfried Hallbergmoos, that wanted to start the season despite the corona pandemic.

BRV league spokesman Jens Heinz said: "I understand the cancellations, the uncertainties and the sometimes missing perspectives of the clubs." In August, the association still hoped that the corona situation would relax further thus at least with the 26 teams registered at the time, a reduced round of points could be pulled through.

But in the past few days and weeks, the number of corona infections has risen rapidly again.

The result: The hygiene protection measures developed by the clubs are now nothing more than waste.

Michael Prill is shocked by short-term cancellations

Precisely for this reason, Siegfried Chairman Michael Prill finds it a shame that there is no struggle: “We had done our homework.

The team is fit - we also discussed and clarified the hygiene measures with the community.

The fact that many major league clubs withdrew their relays only a week ago was a shock to me, because the corona crisis has been going on for a few months. ”In addition, the government may wrestle with the current status if the hygiene regulations are strictly observed will.

“But we accept the measures taken by the Bavarian Wrestling Association because everyone's health is of course in the foreground.

We will now continue to comply with the regulations and train not only with the men but also with the youngsters in order to stay fit.

Now let's just wait and see what happens next. ”If it is possible in a few weeks, they at least want to fight friendship fights.

Clubs hope for friendship fights

The recently newly elected chairman of ASV Au, Michael Schranner, sees it similarly: “There were some who wanted to wrestle.

But there were also active people who were against it.

But we join the measures of the BRV.

For health reasons, we simply cannot answer for a start in the points round. ”However, if the infections should decrease again, he could imagine doing friendship fights at a later date.

"Of course, you have to wait and see whether it goes with or without a spectator."
