Its round two of the Pan-E Football Championship. We're coming off the back of our first final appearance in Munich and hoping to build on it. Of course that remains hope at this stage. Enda, Emmett, Eoin and Crusher are all absent. Back comes Eoghan Kelly and Johnny O' though and they will be badly needed. Rochey has been struck down for the last week with a bad stomach bug but I think he will come through.
Copenhagen isn't as well serviced by airlines as Munich so we travel with just 18/19 players. This means the B's will have a few Stockholm lads in their ranks but at least it means there will be plenty of football for all. From the A team point of few it is disappointing that only Paris and The Hague are travelling. Something needs to be done to force a greater number of teams to play at Championship level because when one team doesn't travel, Lux in this case, it makes the journey alot less worthwhile. The Hague will naturally be favourites but we'll give it a good rattle.
The girls will wrap up their Championship this weekend as victory will give them an unassailable lead. They are far above the competition so are a good bet. Tonight though, they appear to have lost Ana, who seems to have had a nasty recurrence of a knee injury. Hopefully its not too serious and she has a speedy recovery.
Take-off is at 17h30 tomorrow.
