Den Haag Invitational, March 5th
The first day out at the annual Den Haag Invitational
resulted in a win for Holland. Only two teams
were present at the Invitational,
so Holland and Belgium faced off in two 15-a-side matches. Holland won both
matches, and had a panel of 19 to choose from. New players from Holland, Canada
and Ireland made their debut in the orange and navy of Holland Ladies for the
first time!
Benelux Round 1: Den
Haag, April 9th
For the first time in years, Holland fielded two teams for
the Benelux Championship. Holland A and Holland B were joined by Belgium and a
hybrid team from Luxembourg and Dusseldorf. Amsterdam’s Karen Maguire captained
the A team, with Barbara Snacken from Den Haag captained the B side. A brave Holland A team lost out in the final
to a strong Belgium side, but great preparations were made for later
tournaments.
Benelux Round 2: Eindhoven,
May 14th

Berlin Regional League Finals: Berlin, June 11th
Instead of a third round of the Benelux, the ladies teams
were invited to the Berlin Regional League Finals. Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg made the
trip to Germany, where they played against teams from Central Europe. Holland played three group
games against hosts Berlin, Munich B and a hybrid team of Zurich/ Basel/
Prague. Being undefeated and top of the group, they went on to play Munich A in
the semi-final and eventually beat the Solvaks in the final. Belgium still won
the Benelux Championship on points, but Holland Ladies won the tournament
itself on the day! Some great performances were put in and huge scorelines in
every match were contributed to by Maria Murtagh, Joan McNulty, Rosie Young and Aggie Juszczuk. Our very own Cáit Lynch won
Player of the Tournament, an amazing achievement considering the amount of
players at the tournament.
