Through to the second round of the district cup with a 4–1 at TuS Südfeld II, on a Wednesday, with Brandt, Yilmaz and Wendt given the night off.

Riedel won twice, the second time in five against Kunz, who had beaten Novak 3–0 and for twenty minutes looked like the best player in the hall. Albers won his singles in three sets and was in the car before the last rubber started. Cup ties are three-player teams, first to four rubbers. Next round at home on Wed 4 Nov, against DJK Ostheim II.
