Skovlunde Friendlies and BBQ

Mike Walsh — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 09:50:03 +0000

The trip concluded with a trip the Skovlunde Football Club in the suburbs of Copenhagen. Skovlunde is a large club with about 700 players ranging in age from 5 to 55! In Denmark, and most of Europe, players join a club near where they live and for the most part, stay with that club. Skovlunde fields two “95” (born in 1995, age cutoff aligns with the calendar year) girls teams. Players move between the “first” team and “second” team depending on their performance from week to week. Skovlunde’s first team will play the first team from other neighboring clubs and their second team will play their opponents second team.

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.

Pictures from Eskilscupen

I have finally had a chance to upload some more of the pictures from the tournament. I was able to get pictures from the Stars games from Cathy Boney as well as take some of their final game of my own.

It was unfortunate that the Stars and Stripes played all of their games at the same times but on different fields. The Stripes were able to cheer on their teammates from the Stars only in their final game after the Stripes had been eliminated. Coach Rob actually had to talk the bus driver and tournament director into allowing the Stripes to come watch the Stars’ game! They wanted to take the Stripes back to the hotel.

I am sure you are wondering if they did anything besides play soccer!

I have some pictures of the girls from around town and also got some pictures from Cathy from their epic travel adventure getting to Copenhagen that I will try and post in the next day or so. Also keep checking back for some bonus material of the parents that has been collected from various cameras. Some of it is pretty funny.

Day two of the Eskilscupen tpournament has completed for the U12 Girls. The Stars continue to shine, winning both games again today. In their morning game the Stars defeated Kristianstads DFF-2 3-0. In their afternoon game the Stars defeated Tollarps IF 2-0. The Stars take their 4-0 record into Sunday’s final round.

The Stripes had a tougher time, showing signs of jet lag and falling to Husie IF in their first game 2-0. A completely different Stripes team showed up for their second game against Skärblacka IF which the Stripes dominated and won 6-0.

You can find more results information on the tournament web site. The results seem to get updated about two hours after the games are complete. The results of the first three games are under the “Girl Groups” section (select Girls 12), the second round and all of Sunday’s games are under “Playoffs Girls”.

Pictures of the Stripes Day 2 have been posted.
