Women’s teams away – The Red Devils are the clear favorites in the western derby

Big battle day for Vorarlberg’s handball Bundesliga team! After the Bregenz men lost by a hair’s breadth in the Supercup revenge against Krems on Friday evening, the Harder and the women’s teams from Dornbirn and Feldkirch want to do better. But it won’t be easy for everyone.

In the third game within six days, Harder have to play in the West Derby in the second round of the HLA Meisterliga basic round in Schwaz. The Tyroleans lost two top performers in player-coach Gerald Zeiner and Richard Wöss in the summer and got under the wheels at the season opener in Linz with 21:32. Balthasar Huber, who was recently suspended, is back in the team led by new head coach Klaus Hagleitner. Three days after the 26:21 home win over Ferlach, the favored Red Devils can enjoy loud fan support in Schwaz. The use of left-hander Paul Schwärzler, who suffered an ankle injury at the European Cup game in Bitola at the weekend, is questionable. With Julia Mayer, Leonie Hartl and Julia Feierle-Scheidbach, coach Heino Stieger has to specify three players. That is why national players Beate Scheffknecht will also take part in the trip to the garden city after their baby break. Without Adriana Marksteiner, who is still in rehab after her cruciate ligament rupture, the grapes are probably hanging for league competitor SSV Dornbirn Schoren in the southern part of the city with series champion Hypo Lower Austria unattainably high.
