After merely 8 playing teams last year, there were 7 students` and guests` teams and 6 teachers` teams registered this year.
Unfortunately, 3 teams did not turn up, so the whole tournament modus had to be modified shortly. As a result, the Börde Team played against the teachers` teams, whereas the students` teams played in their own group at a different place. Everyone played everyone else.
For the first time in the long history of our tournaments, there was a team of our partner school “Heinrich Mann Sekundarschule” present as well as 4 teams of our school. Year 10 of our partner school remarkably came 3rd in the end, but the trophy was won by Mr. Jüttner`s team of former students of ours. Year 11 came 2nd, a selection of year 13 players had to accept to come 4th and 5th with their teams.
Regular tough training turned out to be essential and successful both in the students` and the teachers` teams. Team “Börde” was unbeaten and was handed over the trophy by our headmaster, Mr. Meier. Our partner school team of Rheine College , unfortunately, failed repeatedly to prove their true abilities. Weakened by activities during the evening before the tournament, they came 5th without gaining any big points.
The other 3 teams were fighting hard and all of them ended up 6:6 in the chart, so the “small points” were taken into consideration to decide that the hosting team BbS OvG came 2nd whereas team Haldensleben came 3rd and BbS “Hermann Beims” came 4th.
We want to express our gratitude to the girls of FG 12 a and b for their fantastic catering service as well as the gym teachers Mr. Lindemann and Mr. Dölle for their organizing work..
