GB go into the match tonight knowing a victory will ensure they win the Women’s Four Nation International Handball Tournament.With a 100% record in the competition so far, Britain will be looking to defeat a Faroe Islands side in great form following their impressive victory over the Turkey U21 side yesterday.
GB will face the Faroes full of confidence following an inspiring 25-20 victory against Latvia last night and left-winger Holly Lam-Moores, voted player of the match in that game, is looking forward to the test.
“The match against the Faroes Islands will be tough,” said the 18-year-old. “Personally, I want to just come on and do something today as I felt I had a poor performance against Latvia.
“The fans tonight will see a good fight and we’ve got a great fighting spirit, which is like our eighth man. British Handball is on a big high at the moment and we are working very hard – hopefully the home crowd can see us lift the trophy.”
Meanwhile, GB will have to be wary of the threat posed by the Faroe Islanders dangerous left-back Simona Petersen, who is poised to become the tournament’s top scorer as well as playmaker Asa Dam a Nystabo, who has been voted as the best player on the court in both her two games so far.
Faroe Islands manager Sofus dal Chrstiansen has said that his team is out for revenge following their 19-16 defeat back in April at the EHF Challenge Trophy.
The match starts at 6:30pm here in Sheffield, with a half time and full time report posted online.
