Grafing's women's handball team had to wait almost five months for their second win in this regional league season.

With just four appearances in this period of time, this waiting time was largely due to the Corona and schedule accounts.

Now there was a 33:29 against Brannenburg.

- In this respect, the 33:29 home win against TSV Brannenburg was extremely important for the morale of his protégés, explained Grafing's coach Igor Lukac: "The girls now know again that they can play handball really well.

We had a lot of fun!"

It only took almost 40 minutes for this fun game to really unfold in the Jahnsporthalle.

"Yes, we completely slept through the first half," Lukac complained about a number of technical errors and a lack of concentration when throwing goals, which not only kept the guests, who were actually inferior in terms of play, in the game at the break, but also let them take the lead 14:12.

Ultimately, it took various saves from goalkeeper Katharina Hiplein to raise the morale and joy of playing in the ranks of the women from Bärenstadt to the highest level.

From a now stable defence, the Lukac team attacked in a majority situation and was able to break away with ten minutes before the end with seven goals (28:21).

"Brannenburg couldn't make up for that, so I made a lot of changes." Grafing's coach Lukac not only brought in the reserve team's goalkeeper, Cara Dickmann, but also three A-Juniors on the plate and thus eliminated "more technical mistakes" and the dwindling lead towards the end of the game happy to buy.

“The most important thing for us is that everyone plays and has fun!

If we still win it will be a nice Saturday night.” bj
