Today, the luxemburgish team had to compete against Malta, a team not too strong to be beaten in theory. But if the first set was won clearly 21-14 by Anne and Norma, the second set was much more difficult and the girls were struggling as they were led by 6 points on the score. So nervousness was beginning to install itself in the heads of Anne and Norma what made it even more difficult to win the sideouts in order to close the gap. But after 3 successfully defended set points, the luxemburgish team closed finally the second set, and the game, on a score of 24-22. A little bit unexpected, the team from malta appeared to be stronger than Monaco.
After two days of competition against the stronger teams of their pool, our beach-team is on its way to the semi-finals. The game tomorrow against Andorra should be the easiest one, but Anne and Norma have to stay focussed.
Considering the results of the other pool, normally, if everything goes right tomorrow, Anne and Norma should meet Cyprus already in the semi-final, as Cyprus lots its first game against Liechtenstein.
Good luck for tomorrow to our beachvolley team.
