World Lacrosse Championships dag 5 – The Netherlands vs. New Zealand

Dag 15 maandag 14 Juli. Deze dag begon hetzelfde als gisteren. Ontbijt rond 8 uur, training van 9 tot 10, om 11 uur lunch en om 12 uur met de grote bus en een extra busje van ons naar Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Altijd makkelijk om eigen vervoer te hebben, als iemand iets vergeten is, zoas nu ook weer het geval was. Om half 3 begon de wedstrijd tegen Nieuw Zeeland. Helaas hadden we weer wat tegenslag met extra blessures en natuurlijk was daar die bloedhete zon weer. Ondanks dat gingen onze jongens er vol voor en gingen ze redelijk gelijk op en stonden in het derde quarter voor. Helaas liep het toch anders af en won Nieuw Zeeland met 14-10. Erg jammer, maar morgen zijn ze er weer helemaal klaar voor en gaan het dan opnemen tegen Finland.

Day 15 Monday July 14th. This day was almost similar to yesterday. Breakfast at 8 am, practice from 9 till 10 am, lunch at 11 and the bus to the stadium at noon. We also took one of our Vans, just in case of need. That turned out to be a good decision because one of the players had forgotten some stuff so we had to turn back and pick it up. At 2.30 pm the game vs New Zealand took off. Unfortunately we suffered some additional injuries from the previous game vs Italy and of course there was this intense heat again. Despite of this, our guys went in full steam and up until the 3rd quarter the game was quite equal. Although our boys gave it their all, the fourth quarter turned in favour of New Zealand and they finalized the game with a 14-10 victory. We got knocked down, but we will get up again and be fully prepared for tomorrow’s game vs Finland.
