USA Visitors:
On Thursday last the club welcomed Maureen and John Bike from Tucson, Arizona. They are the parents of the famous handball player John Bike. It was their first time playing in a 60 x 30 court. They were amazed with the size of the court and they adapted very well. They played for some time with our local players and it was a very enjoyable evening for all of us. We hope they visit us again to continue training in the 60 x 30 before the World Championships.
