Groningen

1 June 2004 - 4:48pm -- Joseph

I went to Groningen in Holland for a International Student Football tournament this weekend - three days playing football, sitting around in the sun and drinking beer - great fun.
This was my first football tournament, and it fully lived up to my expectations (though sleeping in a large gym for four hours a night ensured that the quality of football wasn't exactly sparkling). I actually got to play though, which was good - and I didn't screw up!
We did okay, we won three games, drew three, lost none and qualified for the second stage on day two, so pretty respectable really.

Our Women's team did very well, reaching the final, where they were beaten by a very good Dutch side - lots of long-legged Dutch girls - they were fast...

So well done to the Manny Road women.

The weekend was great fun and I hope to go next year, plus the Dutch accent sounds so funny!

Oover de keepor!
