It’s hard to avoid the Football World Cup at the moment (unless you frequent The Crab & Lobster which has been deemed a football free zone – hurrah!) and England may have scored two goals last week against ….. well … I can’t remember who, because I don’t really have much interest in it, but this weekend the England Beach Football team slogged it out in Greece resulting in a 2-2 tie.
The Englishmen were still excited about their first win of the season, last week, when they scored 4-3 and frustrated the favorite Polish team that ended up losing the Poddebice title at home. Against a Greek team to whom they had lost 4-8 in Poland, England showed a fierce mindset and picked up right where they had left. “It is a fantastic result for us. It has been a while since the last time we had won two matches in a row and most of all we knew that this win was crucial in order to achieve our goal of qualifying for Austria�, said head coach Chris Attwood, eager to see his team play in the EBSL Group B Final, in Saint Pölten, from 14 to 16 July.
You might recognise a few familiar faces from Ventnor/IW in the team photo above.
Their next match is at the T-Mobile Cup event in Birmingham next weekend (23-25 June). Good luck lads.
