Nice way for Wuppertal to wrap up before Xmas with a straightforward win over Bonn. At the top, the match between Oberhausen and Homburg ended in a draw, despite the guests taking the lead into halftime. Saarbruecken continues to press closer and might become a contender yet. Other important results were Trier's loss, which pretty much drops them from contention, and the excellent games from some teams near the bottom: Verl, Erkenschwick and Salmrohr. Meanwhile, Bonn and Teveren look like they'll start planning for the 4th division.
