Season 2024 / 2025 – 4th & 5th matchday seniors
Regional league
After two recent narrow defeats, our regional league team had another double game day on the agenda. With the away game at SSV WBG Bochum, none other than the current league leaders faced one. Bochum, also promoted, has numerous former second division players in its squad. This promised many attractive games. A full hall promised the necessary ambience. At the beginning, the Bochum team secured the women’s doubles and the 2nd men’s doubles. Sergej and Vincent (1.HD) turned the game around in the second set at 18-20 and decided the high-class game against Hukriede/Bald in three sets. An important point before the individuals. In the individual, Sergej (2nd HE) and Vincent (3rd HE) were able to demonstrate their class and put the BCR in the front with 3-2. Meanwhile, Thomas (1.HE) surprisingly had to admit defeat to his strong opponent (Hendrik Waldyk) in three hard-fought sets (17-21, 21-13, 19-21). The previously very loud noise in the hall became a little quieter when 19-year-old Tashvi Parab was able to confidently beat her strong individual opponent (Annalena Diks) in two sets on her debut in the regional league. In the final mixed doubles (Bruno/Mireille) there wasn’t much hope of winning anything against Fischer/Hukriede. The first set was also lost 10-21. In the second sentence a completely different picture. Bruno and Mireille played strongly and took the 2nd set 21-18. In the deciding set, the favored pairing from Bochum prevailed. 4-4 draw against a very strong Bochum team. The spectators were treated to first-class badminton and the atmosphere in the hall was certainly fun for everyone involved.
4 – 4 1.BC Recklinghausen 1 (selection at SSV WBG Bochum)
The home game against TV Refrath 3 followed on Sunday. In addition to 1.HD (Sergej/Vincent), Mireille/Tashvi (DD) also won their game. The subsequent singles of Tashvi (DE), Thomas (1.HE), Sergej (2.HE) and Vincent (3.HE) clearly won in two sets. In the final mixed doubles, Mireille and Bruno had to congratulate their opponents after winning the first set after three sets. Final score 6-2. With three out of four possible points, they temporarily move up to third place in the table. However, the second and eighth are separated by just two points. We continue in December with the away game at 1.BC Beuel.

Thye Matulessya and Ilija Pavlovic completed the line-up. In the end we were able to celebrate a 6-2 away win. Greta (DE) and Lukas (1st HD, 3rd HE) were able to contribute to a total of three games won. The next top game will take place on November 23rd. At home you receive TB Rauxel.
