Klein-Winternheim, Germany – RSV Klein-Winternheim solidified its position atop the Table Tennis Oberliga Südwest with a decisive 7-3 victory over TV 1860 Nassau on Friday, February 21st, further diminishing Nassau’s hopes for a championship run. The win maintains Klein-Winternheim’s undefeated record and establishes a six-point lead over their closest competitor.
Despite the loss, TV 1860 Nassau captain Jan Limbach managed to secure two individual points for the Lahnstadt team in the match, played in Klein-Winternheim. Limbach defeated Marco Gottwald 11-6, 11-8, 11-3, and also won against Jan Kämmerer 11-4, 11-7, 11-6, according to match data.
The defeat comes after a mixed start to the Rückrunde (second half of the season) for Nassau. They secured a 6-4 win against TTF Illtal II to begin the second half, but were hampered by the absence of team captain Jan Limbach due to illness during that match. Christian Schanne was also unavailable for the Klein-Winternheim contest, contributing to the team’s weakened position.
Jan Limbach joined TV 1860 Nassau prior to the current season, having previously played for TTF Illtal/Saar. His arrival was seen as a significant boost for the Nassau team, with the expectation that he would contribute both as a player and as a trainer, assisting Zsolt-Georg Böhm in developing the team’s talent pool. Limbach’s previous clubs include SG Winnen-Hornister, SF Nistertal, TTC Mündersbach, VfR Simmern, and TTC Zugbrücke Grenzau.
The victory for RSV Klein-Winternheim signals their strong contention for promotion to the Regionalliga Südwest. The team’s consistent performance throughout the season has positioned them as the clear frontrunners, leaving TV 1860 Nassau to reassess their championship aspirations.
The next scheduled match for TV 1860 Nassau is against RSV Klein-Winternheim on February 21, 2026, where they will attempt to avenge their loss.
