HEAD Coach Jesper Holmris heaped praise on the GB women’s team this week after they put on some great performances during the Four Nations Tournament in Liverpool.
Despite losing to Switzerland and Portugal, GB’s performances were much improved from their previous matches in Euro 2010, culminating in an emphatic 31-21 victory over Italy on Saturday.
“Looking at the tournament as a whole we have shown we can compete against Switzerland, Portugal and Italy,” said Holmris, pictured right. “We are heading in the right direction so we are very positive.
We were actually quite close to winning the tournament so we are a little bit disappointed about that. Atmosphere “It’s really great to come back to Great Britain again to play matches. There is such a great atmosphere here with the crowd screaming, and the players love this and love playing matches here as it allows their families to come and see and support them.
