Previously unbeaten SG Pegasus (GER) and Ceske Budejovice (CZE) met to determine who would win Pool A in the first of the afternoon’s matches. The Czechs were unable to reproduce what they had done in their previous two matches – string together several unanswered goals – so were not really a match for the Germans who won 15 – 8.
In the other pool hosts Schweriner faced Nottingham (ENG). The defences were very strong, none more so than Nottingham who only allowed Schweriner to score four goals, two in each half) and half of these were penalties. The English team won 13 – 4 and will now face the Czechs from Ceske Budejovice in tomorrow’s semi-final. The other semi-final will be an all German affair with the hosts playing SG Pegasus.

The final of the IKF European Shield held in Castrop Rauxel (GER) was expected to be between the two pool leaders SG Pegasus (GER) and Nottingham (ENG). However, hosts Schweriner and Ceske Budejovice (CZE) obviously had not followed the script and the second teams in both pools won their semi-finals – Schweriner by 10 – 9 against fellow Germans SG Pegasus and Ceske Budejovice by 16 – 14 against Nottingham. In front of a packed sports hall (standing room only) with the host team’s supporters cheering on their team, the Czechs proved to be slightly too strong for the Germans and clinched the Shield with an 11 – 7 scoreline. Nottingham won the bronze medal beating SG Pegasus 13 – 12.

In the morning round of matches SG Pegasus (GER) took control of their match against CE Vilanova (CAT) with a burst of seven unanswered goals in the opening 10 minutes of the second half and went on to win 13 – 8. In Pool B the other German team, hosts Schweriner, killed off what had been a tight game against the Polish team from Wroclaw with five goals without reply in the last eight minutes to win 16 – 9. The following match saw Ceske Budejovice, who led 7 – 4 at half time, almost throw away a seven goal advantage in the last nine minutes of their match again CCCD Carnaxide (POR) but just held on to win 14 – 13. In the final match of the morning session MAFC (HUN) belied their ‘on paper’ ranking and gave Nottingham (ENG) a fright. Nottingham’s shooting was very poor and the Hungarians capitalised on this to lead, in the lowest scoring first half of the event, by 3 – 2 at half time (the first goal in the match not coming until the 8th minute). Eventually, after a couple of substitutions Nottingham scored just enough to see out the game, winning 9 -6.
Both pools enter the afternoon session in a situation where the two unbeaten teams in each pool meet each other to determine the rankings. |
