On matchday 23 our Teens and Lions once again accompanied our Werkself to show their full support in the tough away game at Dortmund. A tough task awaited our team but the Werkself could rely on the support of our youngest as ever. At 12.30 CET was time to head off to Dortmund.

We arrived at the stadium half an hour before kick-off ready to give the team the necessary additional motivation. Hope rose from time to time but unfortunately the Werkself lost 6-2 in the end in spite of the great support.

About an hour after the final whistle everybody, clearly disappointed by the result, set off home. There was reason to celebrate in the bus when the winners of the to game was sought, found and presented with great prizes. An overall exhausting trip to Dortmund then neared its end.
