Kaldorf and Weitz played out a 1-1 draw in the Regional League South on Thursday evening. The result keeps both sides in the top five as the season gathers pace. By then the early rounds had already established a pattern of tight contests between these neighbours.
Before kick-off Kaldorf sat fourth with 11 points from five games. Weitz were fifth on 8 points after two wins, two draws and a loss. The gap between them was narrow enough that either side could have shifted the balance.
To be fair a draw suits both clubs at this stage. Kaldorf remain unbeaten with three wins and two draws. Weitz now have six points from their last two outings after picking up a win and a loss earlier.
Kaldorf's recent results include a 2-1 victory over Gleysdorf 09 and a heavy 5-2 win against Allerheiligen. Weitz came through 4-0 against Deutschlandsberg before drawing 0-0 with Allerheiligen in their most recent outing.
The result leaves Kaldorf on 12 points and Weitz on 9 after six matches. Neither side has moved far from their positions in the table, and the race for promotion spots remains wide open.
