RÜSSELSHEIM – The championship has long been decided, the title went to RW Walldorf II. But at the bottom of the table in the football district Oberliga Darmstadt/Groß-Gerau, a trio is still fighting for relegation on the last day of this Saturday (3:30 p.m.): Hellas Rüsselsheim, SG Dornheim and KSG Brandau.
The Rüsselsheimers have the best starting position, with 33 points currently occupying a non-relegation rank. But FV Hellas cannot afford to slip up. Because the SG Dornheim (32) lurks on the relegation rank. Especially since the Greeks meet Master Walldorf. “Nothing is impossible,” says Hellas trainer Hüseyin Top. He hopes that Spiridon Pentsidis, Patrick Stanczak and Ioannis Safis are available again. “We won’t give up,” announced Top. If his team wins, everything is clear. Likewise, if Dornheim does not score three times. The Rüsselsheimers have to go into the relegation if they don’t win, the Dornheimers in turn are successful at the Olympia Biebesheim – then the SG would have been safe in the league.
The team around SG trainer Dirk Schätzler has to cope with a difficult task with Biebesheim. For the hosts it is the last game under the coaching duo Steffen Gils / Robert Schmidt, which goes to the group league FC Alsbach. “That doesn’t make things any easier,” says Schätzler. Due to the strong performance in the 3-0 win at RW Darmstadt II on the last match day, he is confident: “We have to win the game.” If there is a three, he expects to remain in the league because he cannot imagine that champion Walldorf in Ruesselsheim is subject. If the SG had appeared more often in the second half of the season like last Sunday, the Dornheimers would not have to worry about such constellations. A point would at least mean the relegation.
