OLD ALEX OPENING DAY DEFEAT IN EUROPEAN CUP WINNERS CUP DIVISION A

THURSDAY APRIL 5

OLD ALEX slipped to a 3-1 defeat to German side Stadion-Rot Weiss Koln in their opening pool game of the European Division A Cup Winners Cup in Madrid. Alex held the Germans well for the opening period and upon conceding the opening score, fought back almost immediately to equalise through co-captain Lisa Dowling for a half-time score of 1-1.

The second half saw the German side raise their game, and despite excellent Alex short corner defence, Koln scored 2 goals from open play to win 3-1.

Old Alex play English side Canterbury in their next pool game on Friday at noon.
