ASV Hamm on hold: Drama about staying in the league until June 30th!

There is currently a dramatic book on hold in the handball scene. ASV Hamm-Westfalen moves in an uncertain area of ​​tension between the 2nd Bundesliga and the 3rd league. With the replay between Tusem Essen and Dessau-Roßlauer HV, which has to be rescheduled by June 30th, the club's future hangs in the balance. Despite its 29 plus points and a better goal difference than Dessau, ASV is currently in 16th place and could still be relegated in the worst case scenario. wa.de reports.

The turbulent situation was triggered when the referee overlooked a rule violation in the original game on April 27th, in which Dessau had too many players on the field in the final phase. This led to an objection from Tusem Essen, the success of which could now have a significant impact on the question of relegation. ASV managing director Markus Fuchs describes the current situation as a “straw of hope” but has little influence on the outcome. “We are already holding initial discussions for the 3rd league,” said Fuchs, “which doesn’t make it any easier for us.” sportschau.de refers to the precariousness of the situation.
