TSV Calw cracks the play-off hurdle: shock and triumph in a double game!
In the current season, TSV Calw is showing that it is not only a spokesman, but also a top dog in the fistball Bundesliga. Under coach Thomas Stoll, the team achieved its desired goal of securing a place in the top 4 of the league. Despite a defeat against TSV Pfungstadt, Calw can still emphasize the positive sides of the last double game week with a narrow win against TV Stammheim. After the matches, Calw now has 8:6 points and is in third place, behind the unbeaten TSV Pfungstadt with 14:0 points and TV Vaihingen with 12:2 points.
In the game against TV Stammheim, TSV Calw initially found themselves in a delicate situation. After being down a set, the team fought back and finally won 5:4 after the deciding set had to be decided. The encounter with TSV Pfungstadt was also exciting, where Calw lost 1:11 in the first set, but showed a strong performance afterwards. Players like Raphael Schlattinger contributed to stability and consistency in this intense phase.
The current table of the 1st Bundesliga South
| team | Points |
|---|---|
| TSV Pfungstadt | 14-0 |
| TV Vaihingen | 12:2 |
| TSV Calw | 8:6 |
While the top of the table is clearly positioned, the space for those who can no longer make it at the bottom is shrinking. On the other hand, teams like TV Stammheim (4:10), TV Waldrennach (2:12) and TV Segnitz (0:14) are fighting for relegation, which makes their season even more exciting. In the lower half of the table, the situation seems tense for TV 1880 Käfertal and TV Schweinfurt-Oberndorf, as they are in the play-downs with worse set ratios.
Outlook for the play-offs
The decisive games are getting closer: The play-offs for TSV Calw begin on Saturday at 6 p.m. in Vaihingen an der Enz. There is also another game against Pfungstadt on June 28th and a match against TV Schweinfurt-Oberndorf in Altburg on June 29th.

The standard in the Fistball Bundesliga is also exceptionally high this season, which only increases the excitement for the coming weeks.
