On 12 January 2025, this year’s North German Youth Championship U21 took place in the free game discipline with 4 participants at BC Wedel 61. The defending champion Emmy…… von Massow started with a victory in the first round against newcomer Luka Brenneiser from BC Bergedorf. At the next table, the up-and-coming 18-year-old Joshua Lorkowski from BG Hamburg put in a very focussed performance against home hero Erik Mankowski. This was to remain the best match of the tournament day. In round 2, both Joshua and Emmy from Neudorf were able to confirm their status as favourites. Emmy managed the day’s highest series of 29 points.
There was then a match for the bronze medal between Erik and Luka. Erik was able to win this with a good performance and also improve his promotion to performance class 6 of the free game.
Emmy and Joshua played the really exciting final. Both were able to capitalise on smaller series time and again, so that when the score was 53:52 in Emmy’s favour, it was only a question of who would find the next small series. The defending champion managed this in the 15th shot.
