German Bundesliga
Finals,
20-22 May 2005, Stuttgart
Sun 22nd:
Paderborner take Bundesliga Title
Paderborner SC claimed the
Bundesliga title in a final that went down to the wire.
 Edgar
Schneider put Paderborner one up, but Oliver Post levelled for
Bonn/Mulheim. The number one string was fiercely contested, with
David Palmer edging out Peter Nicol to give Bonn the edge.
In the final match Paderborner's Stefan Leifels needed a win to give
his team the title, althought 3-2 would have led to countback on
points. In the event the calculators weren't necessary as
Leifels won in straight games, giving Paderborner a 9-7 victory on
games countback.
There was consolation for Bonn/Mulheim in the women's
final as Linda Elriani led them to the title with a five-game
victory over world champion Vanessa Atkinson.

 CW
Bonn/Mulheim and Paderborner SC will contest the final of the
Bundesliga play-offs after contrasting semi-final wins in Stuttgart.
Bonn, headed by world number two David Palmer, completed a comfortable win over Koblenz, but the second
semi-final finished 2-all with Paderborner winning on countback.
Poised at one-all, Peter Nicol and Gregory Gaultier
played the decisive match - described as 'brutal' by an observer -
with Nicol winning 11/9 in the fourth after 100+ minutes to give
Paderboner an unassailable lead.
Bonn/Mulheim will be aiming for a double in Sunday's finals, as
their women's team takes on SC Bordesholm.
