Andorra squash event

In a weeks time, from the 10-16th of March a delegation from Norway will be playing the Invitational Andorra Squash Event. The tournament organizor is sponsoring everything for us this week, and suspicion is that smaller nations are invited so that the catalanians have a fair chance of kicking some ass.

The Norwegian team is almost complete, but miss the absence of newly crowned national champ Kristian Solhaug. It is still good to see that we have enough depth in the team to show up strong with HSK champ Ronny Aasbø on the number 2 spot and big killer PSA pro Sindre Roaldsøy on the number 3 spot.

Initially we will be playing the team event, where biggest competitors will be France and Scotland (I think) with PSA professionals Douglas Kempsell and Geoffrey Dumont leading the campaign. It will also be a great test for the Norwegian players to take on Portugal as they are one of the teams we need to beat in second division this year to stay in (which is the big goal)

Plus... Its ALWAYS! AWESOME! to BEAT! SWEDEN! in ANY SPORT!!! I'll beat a Swede in bowling and gloat forever. Singstar? Never lost to a Swede. European Club Championships Squash in Prague. Jea... we beat Sweden.

We're so lucky to have coach Mark with us on the journey to make sure everything goes according to plan. Unfortunatelly Ronny has pressing commitments at home so he can not play the individual tournament, but myself and Sindre will defend the honor of the Reds.

On a personal note, I am still riding the rollercoaster of life, that will hopefully go into a less loopy patch from after April. Theres a lot more squash coming up in the next part of the year if life only lets me. Im reeeeeaally keen on getting back into training now and this event will be a great motivation for me. I know its all still in me, and on a good day I can still play well. Fingers crossed for awesome squash in all my future matches

peace out
