Well, its mid-February and I'm pleased to say we are still in the running for play-offs. I am not pleased to say that we haven't exactly made it an easy run for ourselves. We did end up beating Fredriksburg very convincingly in 3 sets, but went on to lose to Fortuna in 4 sets and Lyngby in 3 sets. Lyngby was one of our "sure wins" and losing so severely really hurt the advantage we had over 5th place team Vordingborg. We currently sit at 1-3 in the final round and we need to end up at least 4-4.
The next few weeks will be very tough but I'm reassured that we can do it by the team's effort last night. We had a tough match against Brondby, the 1st place team in the league. We haven't beaten them yet this season and they have 5 very capable Americans on the team. The girls fought hard for every point and had a few things gone a little differently, I think we could have taken that match. We have today at practice to work out a few kinks, then we play again tomorrow afternoon against Skobbakken at home. I would have originally labeled Skobbakken as a "sure win", but since it looks like anything can happen in this league, I've decided to take every set of every match one point at a time.
Updates on other aspects of life in Copenhagen will have to wait; this is the grind people.
