Day Three Results...We're in the Semis!!

Today dawned the second round. After a slight draw change late last night we ended up playing the Spanish first. We knew that we needed to take down the Spanish to ensure we made the semi finals. A strong start saw us take the lead 6-1, however in the last couple of minutes we unfortunatley allowed the Spanish to get two more on us to make the final score 6-3. Never the less it was a win in the bag.


We had a quick turn around and next up an hour later we had Great Britain. We knew a win was needed to give us the easier cross over in the semis. We started out strongly scoring the first goal, but GB came back straight away and shot from half way equaling the score. The game was a tussle between the two teams with the score slowly increasing with NZ unfortunately taking the loss 5-4. NZ demonstrated some awesome offense and showcased some cracker shots.


The third game was against the Dutch. After loosing to GB we had to win this game to secure our semi final spot. Having beaten the Dutch at De Paddel 7-2 we knew we could definitely take the win home. We eventually won 6-2 and confirmed our spot in the semis.



We now have a rest day tomorrow to relax and chill out before we meet Germany in the semi final at 8.30am on Sunday morning. We're definitely looking forward to it!

Thanks for all of your messages of support, it's great to know we've got people cheering for us on the other side of the world and with many of you staying up late to see the live results!
