The AFC Remscheid Amboss is playing its promotion final against the Schiefbahn Riders

The time has come. The Schiefbahn Riders will have the game of games for football association league team AFC Remscheid Amboss this Saturday (3 p.m.). With a win or a draw, the team around head coach Cole Williams can secure the title and make their eventual return to the top league perfect.

The people of Remscheid have been working towards this day for almost a year. The anticipation in the team is correspondingly great, as Williams observed: “This game is a very special one for everyone.”

Fight for promotion instead of relegation

Which is also because it has never been about the title for the anvil in recent years. But mostly against relegation.

As the frontrunners, who celebrated six victories in a row, the Remscheiders are now visiting their pursuers in Willich-Schiefbahn. He has two points less in his account and was left behind with 14:21 in the first half of the season at the Reinshagen stadium, although the anvil was missing numerous key players.

“That was the turning point of our season,” remembers the head coach. “We knew then that we could beat anyone in the league.”

While Cole Williams grew closer with his team and started one last winning streak, Schiefbahn weakened in his home game against Oberhausen. At 0:20, the second-place team didn’t put a point on the scoreboard.

The conditions could hardly be better

“Nevertheless, we must not underestimate the opponents,” warns the head coach, but on the other hand he also says: “Our chances are very good.” What also speaks in favor of the anvil is a full squad and, according to Williams, optimal preparation: “We are totally ready .”
