The Stars faced the “first” team and the Stripes faced the “second” team.  After a 30 minute half, they swapped opponents with the Stars facing the “second” team and the Stripes facing the “first” team.  Both Ambassador teams played well, winning all four “mini” matches.  The teams were fairly matched and the games were well played.

After the matches Skovlunde hosted a BBQ outside their clubhouse which was a lot of fun.  The Skovlunde girls particularly enjoyed collecting the Trading Cards from the Ambassadors.  Pictures of the matches and a few from the BBQ have been posted.
