Na otvaranju 2016. godine pred svojim navijačima, Kil je slavio pobedu nad Gumersbahom 31:26 (14:11). Vođa tima bio je Domagoj Duvnjak, strelac devet golova, ali ni Marko Vujin (6), odnosno, novajlija Blaženko Lacković (3) nisu imali milosti prema timu Emira Kurtagića, koji se u rasprodatoj Šparkase Areni (10.285 gledalaca) prikazao u dobrom svetlu.
Nekada je Gumersbahu zbog velikog broja „jugosa“ dodavan sufiks ić, ali se on sada može slobodno dodati najtrofejnijem nemačkom klubu unazad 25 godina.
