ASV Hamm meets old rival Tusem Essen in the DHB Cup

As part of the exciting draw for the second round of the DHB Cup, which was carried out by the table tennis idol Timo Boll, the ASV Hamm-Westfalen experienced a gratifying surprise. The winning of the draw proved to be a stroke of luck for the team because it meets the second division rival Tusem Essen, which offers another opportunity to play in front of a home backdrop.

This message not only brings joy into the ranks of the ASV, but also a personal touch. The new coach Michael Hegemann, who only moved from Tusem Essen to Hamm at the end of last season, has the opportunity to deal with his former club immediately. Hegemann is enthusiastic about the draw and states: "Of course this is a great lot, we are just happy about that." This feeling certainly also share the fans who can look forward to an exciting duel.

The decision to choose the Tusem Essen not only does sporting importance entice, but also brings with it the advantage of a home game. It is an excellent way for the team to mobilize their own trailers and play in a filled hall. "We have the opportunity to get a full hall - and even if it doesn't get easy - the realistic chance of getting on," adds Hegemann. A full stadium could make the crucial difference in the fight for moving into the next round.

The exact schedule of the game is still pending, but Hegemann hopes for Wednesday, October 2. "Then we have an English week, and that would fit the best," explains the trainer. The time planning is important for the team to optimally prepare for the upcoming challenges.

Overall, the positive result of the draw ensures a lot of anticipation among players, trainers and fans alike. The encounter will not only be a sporty duel between two rivals, but also an emotional review for Hegemann, who trained the Tusem for a while and now takes on the challenge in Hamm. This could open an exciting chapter in the season of the ASV Hamm-Westfalen and offer another incentive for the team to present themselves in the highest concentration and motivation.
