Ueckermünder Oldie's disappoint at the national championship in MV!

Ueckermünde, Deutschland - The national championship of Ü35 footballers in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, which took place in Bentwisch last Saturday, was an exciting, albeit sobering event for the FSV unit Ueckermünde. After the Hagenower SV canceled at short notice, the hosts FSV Bentwisch took over the organization of the tournament, which took place again after a long Corona break. Despite Hyped expectations, Ueckermünde took the last place and could not show the usual performance. Player coach Andreas Donges spoke openly about his disappointment regarding the team performance and the unattended claim.

in the field of participants, which consisted of four teams - in addition to Ueckermünde, the defending champion FC Anker Wismar, TSV Stralsund and FSV Kühlungsborn - quickly became apparent that Ueckermünde had to do without some important top performers. Goalkeeper Christopher Priem and the players Christoph Gehrke, Kay Reinke and Karsten Eggert had to stay at home due to injuries or other reasons, which was obviously added to the team.

The course of the tournament

In the opening match, Ueckermünde met FC Anker Wismar, who ultimately also won the title. Despite a committed appearance, the game ended 1-1, with Jeffrey Latza achieving early equalization in the 5th minute. After another game of equivalent quality, Ueckermünde won another draw against TSV Stralsund (1: 1); Here was a beard in the 15th minute of the scorer. In the last game against the hosts from Bentwisch, however, the team had to give up 0: 2.

The disappointed mood at Ueckermünde is reinforced by Donges' criticism of the mode of the championship and the selection of young referees for an oldie tournament. "The framework conditions are simply not correct here," said the player coach, which the situation for the older kickers does not make it easier. But in view of the fact that all district champions competed and no championship in this form had been found for almost three years, it was a valuable experience that was gained on the pitch.

The placements

The end placements of the tournament reflect the performance of the teams. The following teams were able to assert themselves:

Although Ueckermünde could not achieve the desired result, the championship has shown that even in difficult times, the focus of the community and the joy of football is in the foreground. "We now have to work on our weaknesses and see how we are better positioned next time," summarized Donges.

For football enthusiasts in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, it is to be hoped that the next tournaments can take place without major complications and that all teams can compete in full strength. As already mentioned, this tournament after a long dry spell was important for the return of football in the region, and this will certainly be remembered by all participants.
