Sonnenhof in seventh heaven
There were a few postponements so not every side played at the weekend. The most striking and surprising scoreline of the weekend was a 7-1 win for Sonnenhof Grossaspach over Pirmasens. The win helped the hosts leapfrog Pirmasens in the table.
Marvin Cuni scored a hat-trick for Sonnenhof, who actually fell a goal down after three minutes. All seven goals were scored before the hour-mark.
