The EHL visits Catalunya

If you like, imagine this all in catalan but something tells me, that my catalan isn't up to writing a blog involving complicated gramatical compositions just yet.

Yes I know that I sound like a one track pony talking about hockey for ages, but I've found one way at least it's actually relevant!

The Euro Hockey League (EHL) has begun (as you all were aware... Just me?) the first half of the qualification round took place at some club in the Netherlands last weekend 15-17 October. The second half is next weekend (29 October- 1 November) and is being held at... Atlètic Terrassa!

The tournament is essentially a champions league of hockey, so the top teams from, England, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, France, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Belgium, Belarus, Scotland and Ireland play against each other. Spain has 3 teams involved in the competition, Club De Campo, Atlètic Terrassa and RC de Polo de Barcelona with RC de Polo De Barcelona finishing 4th last year after a penalty shootout. Club de Campo was involved in the first round and finished top of their group, beating RC Bruxelles (Belgium) and drawing with Rot-Weiss Köln (Germany). RC de Polo de Barcelona face Kelburne HC (Ireland) and East Grinstead HC (England) whilst Atlètic Terrassa face CA Montrouge (France) and Beeston (England) over the three day weekend.

Involved in the teams are members of the spanish national team; Pau Quemada, Alex Fàbregas, Gabriel Dabanch, Manel Terrazza, Oriol Fàbregas, Sergi Enrique, Roc Oliva, Ándres Mir and Bosco Perez-Pla de Alvear.

I´m sure you will all watch with avid interest...
