American Football Yellow Black celebrated with champagne showers, while the red is a few meters further squatting in a circle by her coach had to explain what was just in hockey park had happened. It was one of the most dramatic finals at the German Junior Championship, known as Junior Bowl. The fact that Berlin Adler, the Black Yellow, would win the final match, it probably would have previously Cologne coach David Odenthal bet. 21:14 won the capital city even before 1051 spectators in hockey park and thus brought the fifth championship in Berlin.

But seven minutes before the end was at the Berlin bank little of Meistervorfreude to see. Approximately 40 minutes is dominated on the defensive of the ascending to the lot from Cologne, Berlin was completely absent.

But the best young German team succeeded in nothing. The Cologne grew defensive about themselves.

In the last quarter, but went to Cologne, which some players in both the Offense and Defense were initiated in the air. Jens Kriete quarterback was barely pass receiver. The advantage of the Berlin: First shortened by Maurice Macia Touchdown at 6:14 (extra point by Justin Sterzinger), two minutes later Christian Sundarp tanks to settle in the Endzone Cologne, and 38 seconds before the conclusion reached Lars Samjeske the decisive touchdown on 21: 14.

"It is bitter, so to lose. But Berlin's passes and running game were worthy champions," said David Odenthal. Like, the organizers, Mönchengladbach Mavericks: At the conclusion of the third Junior Bowls in Mönchengladbach ignited the Bulls with a firework display.

On 20 June 2009 is 28 Time of the German Youth Champion in the American Football identified. Opponents in the finals are the eagle and the Berlin Cologne Falcons. The Junior Bowl as in the past two seasons this year in the Hockey Park in Mönchengladbach determined, where the local organizers to Mönchengladbach Mavericks feverishly for weeks to work on real finals atmosphere for the two best teams in the 16 - to 19-year-olds in Germany create. This will, inter alia before the game and during half-time live performances of pop singer Sina, which among other things, their recent single is present.

The preparations for that for the third time in Mönchengladbach next sporting highlights also appealing ranks will be filled, so they are taken. One is, however, unlike in the past two years: The Düsseldorf Panther are now as a title holder is missing, after a hard-fought semifinal in Berlin lost, and so missed the chance, its eighth consecutive youth championship to win. North Rhine-Westphalia is still represented - this time by the Cologne Falcons, an equal number of positive surprises this season of GFL Juniors, the Youth League in AFV Germany.

The Cologne Shakers are immediately to the finals gestürmt experience and therefore also their first ever finals participation. The Berlin Adler are on the other hand for the sixth time overall at a Junior Bowl part - four German youth championships won the junior from the capital already. The last title, however long ago - before 1997, the Eagle 1989, 1990 and 1994 won. Similar to the Dusseldorf Panthers are the Eagles to the organizations in Germany, whose success in the field of youth players over many generations could be cultivated. The favorite position of the current year are fueled not only that, but mainly from the fact that the Berlin Dusseldorf in the semifinal against the Panthers, the first defeat for a long time were able to teach.

The Cologne want but at the finale certainly not hide. The big plus of Domstädter is that you look at the whole season could increase and always had to play at the limit. Especially that the Falcons game by game top have worked, is one of the true strengths of the team. "We have the lot as long as possible, be kept open" gives Cologne Head Coach David Odenthal rough tactical march route before. "We were in the last two games clear of outsiders. But we have proved that we deserve in the Junior Bowl are confiscated. "

But he also adds this: "There are no young people and professionals. They make mistakes. "And of course he hopes that these errors may be opponents at the Berlin run. The biggest problem of the Berlin Adler may be in the favorite role is. Some weigh in Berlin may have been deceptive in security, what the outcome of the finals is concerned - Eagles coach Joerg Hoffmann will have to show that he and his team slow down on the ground of reality to keep up.

In the semifinal against the Dusseldorf Panthers Björn Werner was the decisive factor for the Eagles. Because he can not only be a Defensive Lineman Tight End and continues to be owned, but also with his Punts often is a bad starting position for the enemy. "To say that we Björn completely out of the game can take, would be very daring," says David Odenthal. "We need to create it but that we can slow down."
