Last weekend, 24 children aged 8 to 13 went on an exciting away trip to Mainz with the Bölle Gang, full of anticipation. The atmosphere was already great at the meeting point at Darmstadt Central Station when everyone gathered with great expectations and smiling faces. We then took the train towards Mainz.
After our arrival at Mainz main station, we went on to the Bruchweg Stadium. The aim was a joint meeting with the Kids Club from Mainz. There was a special point on our plan: a joint training session! The children had the opportunity to play, train and exchange ideas with their peers from Mainz. It was an impressive experience to feel the enthusiasm and team spirit on both sides.
After fortifying ourselves with a delicious pizza, we continued to the MEWA Arena, where we wanted to shout the lilies to victory. When we arrived in the guest block, we immediately made our presence by providing loud support to our team. Unfortunately, as is well known, it wasn’t enough to win, but this didn’t stop the cheering from the Bölle gang.
We finally had to return home with some sad faces, but the disappointment with the result was quickly overshadowed by the enthusiasm for the exciting and exciting day. Exhausted, we arrived back at Darmstadt main station in the evening and the young gang members, picked up by their parents, made their way home. Everyone involved agreed that this away trip was an unforgettable experience!
The Bölle gang is already looking forward to further away trips and many more adventures that the young fans will experience together.
We would like to send a big thank you to our colleagues in Mainz for the great organisation and hospitality.
All children, parents or grandparents who are now interested in becoming a member of the Bölle Gang – go here to register!
