Düsseldorf beat BBC East Side Pirates 28-11 in Berbourg, with all recorded scoring coming in the opening period.
The game started very well for BEP.

That was BEP's best phase, with Schroeder leading the start on 4 points and Daleiden contributing 3.
From there, Düsseldorf completely changed the rhythm. The visitors answered with a decisive 28-0 run to close the game. Laura (DUS) opened the comeback, Aleswsia (DUS) then scored 4 points in a row, and Düsseldorf kept adding pressure until Hannah (DUS) tied it at 11-11 level and Lucy (DUS) gave them the lead for good at 14-11. Once in front, Düsseldorf stayed on a roll and finished with the game's highest lead at 17 points.
Lucy (DUS) and Aleswsia (DUS) were the top scorers with 7 points each, while Laura (DUS) added 6 and gave the comeback strong inside production. For BEP, Schroeder finished with 4 points, Daleiden with 3, and Wagener plus Torres Gharbi had 2 each. BEP's rotation was very young, with key contributors aged 11 and 12.
