challenging first leg in the WSE Women's Cup knockout competition losing 5-1 against Italian side Valdagno at Herne Bay Arena on Saturday is in its inaugural edition and features teams that didn’t qualify for the WSE Women's Champions League finals as well as senior female runners-up from national leagues across Europe This was more than just another European fixture as many of Ely & Chesterton’s players share a history with Valdagno dating back to their first international game at Eurockey 2021 as U15s followed by multiple encounters at the U17 National Team level in 2023 and 2024 A particularly historic moment came in 2023 when England secured a dramatic draw against Italy to qualify for the U17 European Championship where they went on to claim a historic silver medal and Cambridge-based rink hockey enthusiasts Herne Bay Arena provided a fantastic setting for this intense contest Ely & Chesterton’s resolve was tested early The team spent much of the first half adjusting to the game’s high physicality and they conceded again just eight seconds before half-time Determined to match Valdagno’s physical presence Ely & Chesterton upped their intensity in the second half two blue cards resulted in direct free hits for the Italian side Ely & Chesterton fought back with Scarlett Courtenay-Barrow breaking through the Valdagno defence helped by a well-placed screen from Emily Bolt before placing a brilliant shot into the far corner via a touch from Izzy Jansen-Bhatti Ely & Chesterton pushed for another goal to close the gap but conceded twice more - one during a power play and another on the counter-attack Ely & Chesterton’s young squad showed incredible determination highlighting the physicality gap between the teams Ely & Chesterton’s younger stars Gemma Cannizzo Jenna Price and Sarah Figredo fought valiantly while Courtenay-Barrow was once again a standout performer looking dangerous in transition and scoring another well-earned European goal Both Ely & Chesterton goalkeepers had strong performances with Dottie Thorogood putting in a solid first-half display and Sarah Moffett making two fantastic penalty saves Ely & Chesterton fly to Valdagno on February 15 with a renewed focus and the determination to overturn the deficit in the second leg While his Ely & Chesterton United side may lack experience head coach Roger Courtenay-Barrow has backed his young players to more than make up for it with a pair of ‘high intensity’ performances during their upcoming two-legged World Skate European Cup encounter against Valdagno Ely & Chesterton will host their Italian opposition in Herne Bay on Saturday (1 February) before jetting out for the return leg two weeks later After losing 5-4 on aggregate to Swiss outfit Uttigen in a WSE Female Champions League qualifier last November these two fixtures will represent a second foray into Europe for the team And Courteny-Barrow is confident that the hurt from that narrow defeat – along with their superior fitness levels – will give Ely & Chesterton more than a fighting chance of reaching the semi-finals He said: “Whatever happens in the first leg we’ll go to Italy looking to give it everything “These girls have an average of 17 and so the maturity to run out narrow winners to push at the right moments and the guile and tenacity to get over the line is something they have to get right – especially in these cup fixtures “I look back to the first leg (against Uttigen) and think we could have gone for the jugular but because you don’t quite know what you’re going to be up against over the two legs It’s a case of going out and trying to keep the intensity high from the beginning We want to make it difficult for the other team “They (Valdagno) play a more open and expansive game compared to Uttigen and that suits us but we’ve got a lot of what we call runners Their fitness levels are high and all of our players bring different attributes to the team “I can rotate them to keep that intensity and maybe Valdagno will be a little bit light towards the end so getting those cycles right and getting the girls in the right frame of mind for each stage of the game is going to be key.” the double-header will represent another landmark in the career of Courtenay-Barrow’s youthful group A handful of the squad have previously enjoyed success with England but having forged close friendships over a number of years in an Ely & Chesterton shirt it is their club that pulls hardest on the heartstrings Courtenay-Barrow added: “There’s a couple of them who haven't played internationally but if I asked all of them – even the ones that are a big part of the England set-up – which they would prefer to have success with now “If they hadn’t played for England or were still aspiring for that first cap or major tournament then it might be different because they’d still have something to chase but because they've done it and had some success Some of them have played together for such a long time and they’re still best mates “If they have birthday parties or days out To keep them in the sport is a big thing and if one of them is struggling with injury they still come to training because their mates are there That’s huge and it’s something we try to use From a very young age we’ve always encouraged them to win together and lose together “They’re actually quite philosophical about it these days They’re learning together and they’ve got everything going for them.” About Search I want to express a very warm welcome to all of you I

European adventure After losing 5-4 on aggregate to Swiss outfit Uttigen in a WSE Female Champions League qualifier late last year the youngsters were subsequently drawn to face Italian side Valdagno in the quarter-finals of the World Skate European Cup And it proved to be a chastening two-legged affair for head coach Roger Courtenay-Barrow and his players as they suffered a 13-1 defeat Courtenay-Barrow is hopeful that it will prove to be an invaluable experience it tended to be the little moments and small periods in games that proved to be the difference in three of them we conceded goals inside the opening 60 seconds and that puts you on the back foot straight away some times are worse than others to concede goals and it felt like we managed to do that every time for 40 minutes of the 50-minute games there really wasn’t much between the teams “As a group we have to take the learnings form it and we certainly learned lessons the hard way “It’s a quick sport and you get punished for lapses – the ball can travel from one end to the other in three seconds “We’re a young group and perhaps we lacked some maturity but we’ll be a better team for the experience.” And the players have certainly not been put off by their hefty loss with plans in place for a return to European action next season Courtenay-Barrow added: “We’ve definitely got the appetite for more Win or lose this group play for each other – there’s no finger pointing or blame culture “It’s been a huge experience and despite the results there’s still be plenty to enjoy “We don’t know if we’ll get in the Champions League automatically but there will be a spot for us in the European Cup at least.” A sporting event turns into a health emergency due to contaminated water an episode of intoxication occurred involving over XNUMX participants none of those involved were in serious condition but the incident raised concerns among local health authorities The alarm was raised when several participants in the event began to go to the emergency room of the Valdagno hospital Initial investigations revealed a common element among the patients: they had all drunk water from private fountains This led the Hygiene and Public Health Service of Ulss 8 Berica to intervene promptly to ascertain the situation Authorities have started investigations and sampling of the fountains suspected of being the source of the poisoning The results of laboratory tests on the water are expected in the coming days the mayor has issued an ordinance prohibiting the use of water from two specific fountains: “Masteghini or Fontana del Cengio” and “Fanana” The contamination could have been caused by adverse weather conditions in the previous weeks which could have affected the quality of the water The community of Valdagno has mobilized to ensure the safety of its citizens Local authorities are working with health services to monitor the situation and prevent further cases of
