The Faroe Islands give the Turkish attack a rough ride.Faroes Islands 24-10 Turkey U21s
The Faroe Islands comprehensively beat the Turkish Under-21s side 24-10 on the second day of the Women’s Four Nation International Handball Tournament.
Both sides went into the match on the back of defeats in their first games, but it was the Islanders who signalled their intent straight from the start as a vocal and enthusiastic bench was in stark contrast to the somewhat subdued demeanour of the Turkish team.
Turkey U21s, who lost 22-13 at the hands of GB yesterday, were boosted by the news that first choice goalkeeper Berna Zor had returned from injury, but her participation was limited throughout the match to picking the ball out of her net as the Faroes went on the rampage for goals.
The Faroes, who lost their opening match 23-21 against a physical Latvian side, seemed determined to win and the tone of the match was set in the sixth minute when an excellent flying score from Simina Hansen seemed to galvanise the whole Faroe Islands party and their vocal supporters in the stands.
This was quickly followed by a succession of great saves from the Faroe Islands Goalkeeper Erla Eliasen - and a string of missed opportunities and woodwork being hit by Turkey.
These missed opportunities seemed to deflate the young Turkish side, who seemed to let their heads drop which was compounded by Simona Petersen’s strike with two minutes left in the first half to make it 10-5 which was the score at the break.
The match continued in the same vein in the second half as the Faroes opened with two quick goals to set the initiative and following a series of two minute warnings for the Turkish team, the result was never in doubt as it ended 24-10.
Faroe Islands Scorers: Simona Petersen 9, Unn Kragesteen 5, Elin Staksund 2, Durita Christopherse 2, Ninna Johansen 1, Rebakka Justinesen 1, Gurid Mortensen 1, Laila Jespersen 1, Asa Dam A Nystabo 1, Simina Hansen 1.
