Holroyd Rangers Danish connection

Tasmania has its Danish connection with Mary Donaldson becoming Crown Princess of Denmark. Also Grand finalists Sydney FC W-league team includes two Danish players: Julie Rydahl Bukh who is a Danish football midfielder. She currently plays for Sydney FC and the Danish national team, and Cathrine Paaske Sørensen is a Danish football midfielder. She currently plays for Sydney FC and the Danish national team.

Holroyd Rangers now has its own Danish connection. During summer, coach Rob Hopper has been running summer soccer training on Thursday evenings. We’ve had a good group of players joining in and Rob has been running a very enjoyable and worthwhile session for all the players.

In October a keen soccer playing family from Denmark who were travelling to Australia to live for 3 months discovered our Holroyd Rangers blog and inquired about playing soccer with us. With no competition happening for the time they would be here, we invited them to join us at the Thursday night soccer training. Dad Henning, and his three daughters Emma, Asta & Iris came down and joined in each Thursday night. Their enthusiasm and passion for the game have added to the enjoyment of these sessions. A few weeks ago we presented them with certificates making them honorary members of Holroyd Rangers. They return to Denmark in the New Year and we wish them all the best for their 2010 soccer season with their own teams near Copenhagen. The girls play for Lystrup IF, and Hennings' club is "FC Hamid" for indoor soccer in the winter and FC Boreas for summer soccer. Should they happen to visit Australia again we would look forward to have them participate in any of our training sessions or competitions.
