Overview
- VfL Bad Kreuznach and VfK Schifferstadt are the remaining Rheinland-Pfalz-Liga title contenders after Schifferstadt’s 38:0 rout of Metternich/Rübenach/Boden and Nackenheim’s slip from contention.
- TS Germersheim rose to third in the Oberliga with a 3:1 win at Blieskastel-Zweibrücken, clawing back a late fourth-set deficit through composed playmaking and strong finishing.
- Local football tables shifted as SV Hefersweiler went top in its group with a 1:0 win, SV 53 Rodalben stretched its lead to eight points, and Contwig II ground out a 3:1 away victory with stoppage-time goals.
- A-cup shock: JSG Rennertehausen beat higher-tier Nüsttal/Hofbieber/Dammersbach 3:2 despite playing the final 30 minutes with ten men, advancing to the next Hessenpokal round.
- Lower divisions featured extreme scorelines and operational quirks, including a 14:0 and 9:0, a match officiated by mutual-consent referee selection, and weather-hit cancellations; in handball, Sottrum/Ottersberg fell 27:30 and slipped to the penultimate spot.
