Passau Pirates celebrate the turning point: victory against Franconia Knights!

The Passau Pirates are a little on course in the current season of the third -class regional league, as they only recorded one win and a lean point ratio of -249 after five games. But on the last match day, when the Franks Knights were guests in Passau, the team finally managed the desired turnaround. At temperatures of 32 degrees, the pirates fought for a 35:25 win and thus draw new courage in the relegation battle. Sebastian Schreiner, captain of the Pirates, explained that the heat took the players heavily, but who already set the first score of 3: 0 in the second minute at the beginning of the game. A Touchdown from Roach increased the lead to 10: 0, and the spectators - despite the previous failures - loudly cheered on the players and had the mood in the stadium cooked at the Passauer Oberhaus.

Unfortunately, the pirates record was anything but gratifying before this game. High defeats, such as the 7:75 against Augsburg and the 0:66 against Landsberg, made many fans doubt the team's performance. But Schreiner was optimistic: "We stick together and have to park the mistakes," said the captain. With this victory, the Pirates saw a glimmer of hope for the first time this season, and the fans hope that this trend will continue.
