All in all, we were 25 playersand cheerleaders from Denmark, Franceand Norway.The kick-off was early Saturday morning,and the ladies team formed thecheering section to push our boys forwardwith flags, cowbells, which was notmuch appreciated by the other spectators,and pompons, but sadly it did nothelp much.Eitzen Chemical lost all their matchesand received a fitting prize for theirefforts on court; Bridget Jones Diary-DVD.Old Boys lost in spite of a very goodgoalkeeper. Maybe their train ride fromCopenhagen to Aalborg was too wet.Everyone enjoyed the dinner party,especially rookie Andreas, and by theend of the night, he must have dancedwith all the 1000 guests…..Sunday morning the brilliant ladies teamshowed up at the arena, looking freshand stronger than ever! They did fairlywell losing only one match againstClipper 1, who won the whole tournament,and the ladies team would like tothank the cheering section for theirstrong belief in them!The mens team from Eitzen Bulk didjust as well, sadly losing their last matchwith only two players on the court (thetwo others were suspended due to bullybehavior).No prizes this year, but all in all everyonewas really happy with their performanceboth on and off court!Looking forward to Rechto Cup 2008!ENGC - operation meeting in DubaiBy Anders Rasmussen, Eitzen Gas, CopenhagenENGC had in December 2006 one oftheir regular operations meetings withSaudi Basic Industries Corporation(SABIC) in Dubai.
