Feb 01 - Special Olympics Update
01 February 2013
Team Gibraltar has won their first divisioning match against USA then lost to Egypt in a hard fought match. On 31st January they played for classification against Italy winning 6-3 and against Greece winning 8-2.
Both of these matches tested the strength of this, the first attempt at Unified Floor Hockey. This is a fast game with knocks and bumps despite well padded hands, shins and ankles.
The team’s intensive training beforehand is paying off now.
Moral remains high as they await the next round.
The two snow shoeing athletes will be in competition on Saturday and Sunday.
