Pfarrweisach – subtropical temperatures prevailed at last year’s TSV pfarrweisach volleyball tournament, but this year it was a completely different story. So the organizer decided at short notice, due to the unstable weather, to move the tournament to the gymnasium to avoid injuries on the slippery track. In the end, this was the right decision, especially since light rain showers started again and again in the afternoon.
Six hobby teams, mostly from the pfarrweisach and ebern areas, had gathered to determine the tournament winner. Including "jader bull", a team of the girls of the country youth salmsdorf. The mode provided that in each team at least two ladies had to stand. It was everyone against everyone with a total of 15 games, two sets of ten minutes each.
Good five hours flew the balls, where the fun of this sport and the good mood had been paramount. But a certain ambition was not to be overlooked, which could be observed again and again during the ball exchanges.
Hilmar prinzbach and his hard-working helpers from the volleyball team provided exemplary tournament management, joining forces to "redirect" the tournament from the lawn to the sports hall without any problems.
Prinzbach also performed the award ceremony in the evening, where all teams received certificates and a bottle of sparkling wine, and the podium winners were treated to a hearty snack and a crate of beer.
The final ranking: 1. "The "lumberjacks 16 points, 2. "Larrys" 12, 3. "Hauptsach’ druber" 12, 4. "Ganseblumchen" 10, 5. "Hardwood" (last year’s winner) 8, 6. "Jader bull" 2.

Lena brand was quite excited when it finally became "serious" on saturday evening: the eight-year-old had been invited as a "wild party girl" her first official appearance at the buttenabend in schonderling. Already an hour and a half before they sab with the other "girls" in the youth group room of the sport home, make-up and hair was done. "Since november, we have been working with the girls once a week", says birgit muller, who rehearsed the dance together with daniela brand. And while matthias schaab and felix dorn seem to bury the audience on the stage of the sports center in a relaxed and light manner in the crowded hall, the "wild girls" bounce in the stairwell nervously from one fub to the other.

And then – finally – the time has come: the stage is set for the "wild party girls". Armed with balloons, the young ladies dance in to the tune of "99 luftballons" they dance their choreography, not quite flawless, of course, the excitement, nevertheless: applause and shouts of approval are sure for them. A FSV-order for all, lena brand is enthusiastic: "it glitters already" – and it is her first award.

Gerhard morber, who has already won several FSV medals with his witty thoughts and in a quirky "seppl outfit", is the most successful member of the FSV ruthlessly examines what happens in the big and small world on a daily basis – or what is missed. He is a firm coarse at the buttenabend, how many orders he already has, he can not say at first go.
Felix dorn, who made his debut as a sovereign moderator, had an experienced "colleague" at his side in the form of matthias schaab. Schaab, who has been a cabaret artist at FSV for years and shows what acting talent and linguistic talent he has in him, once again convinced the audience with his pointed, effortless and light-hearted introductions. In the last few days and weeks, he has spent unpaid hours writing announcements, fine-tuning them in terms of language and content, preparing for the individual program points and making last-minute changes.

"Faithful guest" at the schonderlinger buttenabend is harald jorg from schondra. Together with his wife silke and their acquaintances they tailor each time according to the respective motto drifting funny costumes. "I like the FSV's supporting program very much, everything is very well organized, the program points are varied", he has to listen to the schonderlingers on the stage mocking the fact that the schondraers don't "bring a carnival event to the stage". Jorg takes it easy. He is surprised that a large part of the guests have little or no costuming.

Lena brand probably didn't notice any of this, proudly wearing a T-shirt printed especially for the evening, but only until the first intermission. Then it was home. "Because I am still too young, my mama says!" But: in two years, when it is again buttenabend, she may stay the whole evening, she has already "negotiated". And: "then I will participate again!" The FSV can use such players …

From the program
Tenore: not a dry eye was left for the three tenors called "die gemeinos", who sang with a driving chant and with a high level of body commitment "but you only exist once for me" belted. That the famous tenors were "real the local councillors norbert heil, frank brust and hubert schneider are, escaped nobody.

Speechless were andrea muller-hahn and elke schneider, who completely renounced words and presented all thoughts in the form of printed paper. Highlight was the song "brother jakob" sung by them – of course in canon – and completely without (spoken) words.

Stars: with elvis presley (benedikt schuhmann), a stoner bob marley (christian ger-lach) and the lightly dressed shakira (felix dorn) "talented world class musicians" showed up on the FSV stage, who even managed to "play the piano without hand".

The men's dance group from singenrainer, the show dance group from schwarzelbach and the women's soccer team from FSV were very impressive.

Snapper hunters (margit sixt, olga spahn, inge wiebner, edith klement and FSV chairwoman christiane heil) were looking forward to the melody of "on days like this – this was the motto of the butte evening – about the newly opened geschaft macgeiz in the "shopping metropolis of our region" bath bruckenau.

The synchronized swimmers patrick hahn and andre sixt were agile. In front of a beautiful backdrop they dived into the depths of the sea bottom, unfortunately it took a "cruel" for both of them because of a shark end: instead of the leg only a bone was dangling. Also the "limberness" had its limits: because they had borrowed the legs and hands of marc schuhmann and markus heil as well.

The singing circle brought the evening to a close with the tin can company: the ladies relentlessly took a close look at what was happening in the village. The program was livened up with sketches, the youth group delighted the audience with their acting talent.

"That was a terrible evening," declared borussia monchengladbach’s dutch center forward after his botched comeback to the international stage. Borussia’s most expensive new acquisition had promised a goal before the first leg of the playoff against dynamo kiev – and in the end he scored into his own goal to make the final score 1:3 (1:2) – probably the end of all dreams of the champions league.

This means that last season’s bundesliga runners-up will go into next wednesday’s playoff almost without a chance and would be only the fourth german club to miss out on the group stage of the european league in the qualifiers or playoffs. Of course, no one wanted to write off the ruck game yet. "I’ve also seen a team win 5-0 away from home. We have the quality to score three goals, even in kiev," said borussia professional mike hanke.

However, the new gladbach team lacks offensive strength. The high tempo, the accuracy of fit and the element of surprise – all gone. "Our strikers are all too similar," lamented coach lucien favre. "They all stay in the center, can’t find the right position. The right mix is missing. Last season we played with almost no forwards and found efficiency," said the coach, who admittedly knew before the season what offensive strengths were available to him.

The realignment needs time. "We don’t have that to integrate the new players. You need five or six games," said head of defense martin stranzl. In addition, the ukrainian top team from kiev showed what international experience means. "Maybe the champions league is still too early for us. Then we have to step on the gas in the europa league," said stranzl.

Everything was in place for the hosts, who were playing their first international match in monchengladbach since 1995. The 45,075 fans showed up in champions league form, staging a raucous spectacle with colorful images. And after 13 minutes, the production on the pitch was also in line. Alexander ring, who had been preferred to patrick herrmann, converted an inch-perfect cross from juan arango to score his first mandatory goal for borussia and make it 1-0.

But then an awkwardly deflected long-range shot from taras michalik levelled the scores before newcomers granit xhaka and alvaro dominguez blundered to give ukrainian young star andrej yarmolenko a 2-1 lead for kiev. "I hate that," favre said of defensive mistakes. The fact that de jong in the final phase inadvertently deflected a free kick into his own goal rounded off a black evening of football for monchengladbach. "I didn’t want it. I wanted to clear the ball with the left fub. But i hit it too high," de jong said, "shit happens."

Pep guardiola sank to his knees. Unbelievable and disappointed, the star coach clasped his hands together over his head.

The most spectacular victory of the season was for manchester city in reality the bitterest defeat – also for the coach. Despite the 4:3 (3:2) against tottenham hotspur (first leg: 0:1) in the second leg of the champions league quarterfinals, the spanish player missed the preliminary round of the royal league for the third time in a row with the english soccer champions. "This is hard, this is cruel," lamented guardiola after the memorable evening, "but we have to accept this."

The british press already celebrated the breathtaking seven-goal smash as a classic. "Mad, barmy, brilliant," the telegraph headlined, BBC sport called it "a ruthless drama," and the times wrote: "spurs and VAR destroy city’s dream of four titles."

While the long chronically titleless spurs "love to silence their doubters" (BBC), guardiola has to put up with questions. As coach of FC barcelona, he won the cup twice, with FC bayern he came away empty-handed, and now, for the third time, he had to retire early with city. "It’s guardiola’s fault," the tabloid "mirror" said.

City fans had other culprits. The video assistant (VAR) was called into action in injury time. Raheem sterling had scored the alleged 5:3 for man city. The stadium shook, jubilant guardiola jumped into the air, while spurs coach mauricio pochettino froze. But the turkish referee cuneyt cakir had seen an offside position when the ball was passed shortly before, which was confirmed on video.

Cakir had already consulted the video assistant 20 minutes earlier when fernando llorente scored the game-winning goal to make it 3:4 because of what he thought was handball. The goal, however, paid – to the annoyance of guardiola, who did not agree with it. "I support VAR," he said. "But maybe from one angle the goal is a handball, maybe from the referee’s point of view it’s not."

Earlier, the premier league clubs had exchanged blows: early city lead through sterling (4. Minute), brace for spurs by heung-min son (7./10.), compensation bernardo silva (11.). When sterling (21.) also scored the 3:2, the stadium became a madhouse. "I am so proud of the players and the fans," said the dejected guardiola afterwards. "I have not heard such a noise since i have been in manchester. But fubball is unpredictable."

Tottenham then acted nervously and incorrectly. When sergio aguero (59.) scored the 4:2, city looked like a sure semifinalist. Then came the substitute llorente, who was actually only as a makeshift solution, and decided the duel for the spurs, who are now for the first time since the 1961/62 season semifinals of the most important european club competition. "An incredible game," said tottenham coach mauricio pochettino. "I am so happy, so proud. My players are heroes."The londoners will face ajax amsterdam in two weeks’ time.

In the worst case tottenham could become a stumbling block for man city even in the championship. The teams meet again in the league on saturday. "We have to show a reaction," demanded guardiola, who is two points behind leaders liverpool with city, but has played one game less. "We fought a lot for the premier league, nine or ten months. It’s in our hands now."Should city concede the next steamer on saturday, the club bosses in manchester could get pensive.

At the meeting in upper bavaria, the host had an almost perfect day. The VCE never really got into the game. VC eschenbacher eltmann actually wanted to extend its winning streak in the match against TSV muhldorf, which has been winless so far, in order to establish a good starting position before the direct duels against schwaig and deggendorf. This did not succeed against a host that suddenly played as if liberated, put the VCE under pressure the entire playing time and never let up.

Muhldorf defense grows beyond itself

After an arduous journey, the VC eschenbacher eltmann team had a little less time than usual to prepare for the match, but every player seemed physically fit for the start of the game. From the kick-off, however, muhldorf showed a performance that completely contradicted the previous performances in the volleyball regional league. Muhldorf impressed with strong serving and seemed to have a "golden day" in the defense around leonhard tille, the brother of national team libero ferdinand to have caught. Hardly an attack ball of the VCE came directly on the ground, muhldorf scratched out the balls in partly impossible situations and then also concluded the game with powerful attack shots. On the other hand, the eltmanners also failed to win such games. The description of the first sentence fits almost all three sections of the game.

Now in sixth place

In the third round, the team of VC eschenbacher eltmann seemed demoralized towards the end, got no chance from the opponents to find their way back into the game, and all in all deserved to lose the match 0:3. The result of the third set, 15:25 from the viewpoint of the bavarians, underlines the fact that the bavarians were the better team on this evening. VC eschenbacher eltmann is now in sixth place in the table with 12:12 points. Next weekend, it will host SV schwaig, the fifth-place team with 12:10 points. Until then, the VCE will have to work hard on tactics and coordination in training to avoid another defeat.

Tax officials investigate sponsorship contracts of german basketball champion brose baskets bamberg. "The club has nothing to fear, manager wolfgang heyder said on wednesday at the request of the news agency dpa.

Bavarian radio had previously reported a tax investigation into the upper franconians. The investigators had seized documents at the beginning of october and were mainly interested in the allocation of vip tickets, the station reported.

Heyder, on the other hand, emphasized: "we voluntarily handed over the documents we had requested four weeks ago within two hours." The tax authority had approached the association within the framework of a federal audit.

The files mainly concerned contracts with the club’s sponsors, the manager explained. "In these contracts is a rough part of our vip cards, that’s right." However, these tickets had to be taxed by the contract partners, not by the club. In this respect, at most the partners had something to fear.
