“Assist or goal” | Fan team victorious for the first time

“Assist or goal?” Isac Lidberg was asked in his first media round as a Lily professional by the virtually connected journalists. Without much hesitation, the Swedish attacker replied: “Goal”. But it showed that he is also an unselfish striker Lidberg already made his competitive debut for SV 98 against Teutonia Ottensen when he passed the ball across to Oscar Vilhelmsson and thus prepared the decisive goal to make the final score 3-1. „Hopefully next time I’ll get an assist from him,“ joked new number seven for the Lilies with an eye on his Swedish teammate. When asked about his own strengths, Lidberg replied: “I’m good at going into depth. I’m pretty fast and always on the move.“ That’s exactly what he wants to prove in the league in the coming weeks.

With the Capitano comethe first points of the season. Fabian Holland acted as at least a little lucky charm for the SV Darmstadt 98 fan team last Wednesday (August 14th). In Darmstadt’s second game in the new District League C season, the Lilies collected their first point. While the injured captain watched the game against Germania Eberstadt II from the stands, the fan team scored a 1-1 draw. However, things went even better last Saturday when the “Zwote” were finally able to celebrate their first win of the season. The Lilies won a narrow 4-3 away win at SKG Nieder-Beerbach. With four points now in the bag, the game continues next Saturday (August 24th). The duel with TuS Griesheim kicks off at 4pm in Pfungstadt.

The newly formed U15 of SV Darmstadt 98 competed from August 15th to 17th, their training camp in Breisach am Rhein. In addition to sporting points, the focus was also on creating team spirit. With a total of five training sessions, the Junglilien completed their summer preparation and laid the foundation for the upcoming season. At the end, the U15 of the 98s were able to present themselves in three demanding test matches: As part of the Sibre Cup in Heiger, the Junglilien played 1. FC Köln (2-0), Schalke 04 (1-1) and Eintracht Frankfurt (0-0). “We are absolutely satisfied with our training camp and the conditions on site. In addition to further developing the sporting content, developing a sense of community also played an important role for us in the preparation. Our training camp created the optimal conditions for us to get to know each other even better and develop a feeling of togetherness,” said the head coach of the U15, Eric Ledwina, summarising the short but intensive time in the training camp.

Physiotherapist David Ackermann will be 36 years old onThursday (August 22nd). Ackermann has been working as a physio for the Lilies since summer 2022. Thank you for your daily work and we wish you a happy birthday, David!

During his active playing career, he played 214 games as a center forward for the blue-whites and scored a total of 75 times, which moved him to second place on the SV 98’s all-time record goalscorer list.
