Giving you a clearer picture of roller hockey
Germany were victorious in Alcorcon at the 2007 Ladies European Championships during this week of 18 – 22 September. England finish sixth with their young team and are hopeful of success at the Ladies World Championships next year in Japan.
The 2007 England ladies team
Last year our girls traveled to Santiago Chile to compete in the Ladies World Championships a month before Christmas, of course being in the southern hemisphere they enjoyed the summer sun during the breaks in the competition. The sixteen National teams (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, France, Germany, India, Italy, Macau, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland and USA.) competed in this five day
tournament. The England ladies can hold their own but they had a poor start in the first phase of the championships but came back fighting beating India 5–0 and South Africa 10-0 to finish 13th overall.
Today saw the start of the 2007 Allen Mezzanines Senoir League Cup two day event. Seven teams entered this pre season tournament encouraging players to dust off the pads and gloves and service those skates “ha ha”.
Sunday will conclude with final positions giving us an insight into the abilitys and skills of the new 2007/8 teams entering their prospective leagues. Premier team Manchester will be the ones to watch with their new young team entering the permier league.
