FRIDAY APRIL 6
Old Alex slipped to defeat in their second European Cup Winners Cup Division A pool game in Madrid. Their opponents Canterbury HC had beaten Glasgow En-Croute Western 5-0 in their opening game so were firm favourites to win this game.
Alex defended stoutly but after 20 minutes of the first half conceded the opening goal to GB international Mel Clewlow. Fine saves from Alex goalkeeper Shauna Frey kept Alex in the game throughout the first half. Alex managed to contain the physical Canterbury side but were unable to match the attacking guile of their opponents in the second half when completed a 3-0 victory with goals from a fine reverse stick shot and a lifted penalty corner.
Alex face Glasgow En-Croute Western to decide 3rd and 4th place in pool B tomorrow at 10am.
