Suhr Aarau remains Kadetten Schaffhausen's first rival in the handball championship. The team from Aargau managed a spectacular turnaround at St. Otmar St. Gallen.

St. Otmar led 18:10 against Suhr Aarau at the break. Within 14 minutes between the 32nd and 46th minute, Suhr and Aarau caught up from 10:18 to 22:22, and the visitors pulled away to 25:22 by the 50th minute. In the end, Suhr Aarau won 29:27.

The Bern derby between BSV Bern and Wacker Thun in Gümligen was also exciting, with the team from the Oberland surprisingly winning 28:25. BSV trailed for a long time, but then seemingly managed to turn the game around. In the 50th minute, Bern took the lead for only the second time in the game at 22:21 (and immediately afterwards at 23:21). However, BSV then failed to score for five minutes, which Wacker Thun used to turn the game around from 21:23 to 26:23.

With the away win, Wacker Thun moved above the play-off line into 8th place at the expense of St. Otmar St. Gallen.
