27th place in Korbach – successes in club and monthly rankings
Thirty teams competed in the 2025 Hessian Team Championships in Skat last weekend in Korbach. Besides the title, six starting places for the German Team Championship in Magdeburg were at stake . The Gräfenhausen Skat Club was represented by tournament director Sascha Dechert , Andreas Färber , Martin Steiger , Jürgen Führer , and Thomas Brückner . Despite high hopes, after six long rounds, they only managed 27th place with 19,431 points. Even Brückner's "Grand Ouvert" in round 4 couldn't change that.
The Westerwald Jäger II team secured the title (24,582 points), closely followed by the Schwalm Buben Schrecksbach (24,573 points). The remaining places were taken by 1. SC Dieburg I , 1. Rödelheimer Skatverein , Direkt Energie Eschborn I , and Thermalbad Buben Bad Emstal I , all of whom will travel to Magdeburg.
Things went much better for the club: At the 35th club evening , Martina Schmidt (2,190 points) won after a long break, ahead of Georg Röth and Wolfgang Schroth . Newcomer Heinrich Pertsch immediately achieved 5th place . Jürgen Führer won the August monthly ranking with 7,194 points.
The Gräfenhausen skat players meet for practice on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. at their clubhouse, "Gamebox," located at Schneppenhäuser Straße 5. Guests are welcome. Results can be viewed online at app.skatguru.de
