Europe
On 3rd / 4th May 2008 Stormers had their first ever experience of European
skater hockey. Our Youth (under 16) team were invited to take part in a 'Cadet'
tournament by the 'Shocks' skater hockey club of Elancourt (about 20 miles West
of Paris).
Our team played five matches against teams from Italy, France, Belgium and the
UK. The standard was very high and matches were all close fought. Of the 5
matches played, Stormers lost two, drew two and won one. Whilst not ending up in
the placings, Stormers came away with three trophies, one for fair play, one for
highest point scorer and one for highest individual assists.
The Shocks skater hockey Club were wonderful hosts and the tournament was one of
the best organised the club has ever attended. We very much hope to be invited
back again in 2009.
