Good work but more to do, says Latvia Captain Asare

Latvia captain Evita Asare was pleased with her team's 23-21 victory over the Faroe Islands in the opening game of the Women's Four Nations Tournament, but said there was work to do before their next match against Great Britain on Friday evening.

"We won the game, so of course it went well," said Asare, who scored four goals. "But there were a couple of mistakes in fast breaks where we lost the ball. In the second half the coach was giving us instruction which helped us to stop the mistakes.

"We needed to win and we did, but we have work to do. There will be some more combinations to go through before the next game to give us more options.

"It is a good start for us. We came here hoping - and expecting to win the tournament - but really we didn't know how it would go until we start."
