EHF Day V What a sublime day that was !

Two very different matches. Poland did very well especially during the first 20 mins of the match and then Montenegro stepped up one gear. 

Spain's Jenny did not get to plus four and then the defence welcomed a German goal, which satisfies both teams. I thought +3 was still ok. But obviously not !

Then I had the privilege to spend time with literally close friends of close friends and the mothers of key players. And we bonded straightaway. Also ready to mean business but will have to wait for the adequate right of action and the right moment.

Skopje awaits but it is beyond belief. Literally no flight between 20h30 and 23h05 at a strategic airport.
