Field Hockey

play it mixed!

´Since Monday the hockey sportsmen and sportswomen are shooting on the artificial turf for the goal and are pleased being part of it. The teams are coming from England, Germany, the Netherlands and Australia. The “Royal Girls” (England), the “Dutch Hockey Divas” and the “Charme on tour” (Germany) are representing the three participating women teams. Five male teams competed, two from England, two from the Netherlands and one from Australia.

In addition, mixed games are taking place, with those special impulses and new strategic challenges. Despite or maybe just because of the smaller team lineup compared to the bigger and more popular sport events the athletes competed with all their heart. The athletes paid just as much attention to the competition as to fun and social aspects. Something that was clearly mirrored by the excellent atmosphere. However, Petra Nijenhuis, for about 5 years with “Dutch Hockey Divas”, and Denise Lenferink, for about two years with the team, having won the silver medal with her team at last year’s Copenhagen OutGames intends to carry the gold medal to the Netherlands tomorrow after having won the finale. England thereby is reckoned strong rival.
