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.

Dear Holroyd Rangers
Thanks for all the hospitality, it has been great to play with you during our stay in Westmead.
Especially thanks to John, Lisa and Rob to let us participate and to the girls we have played with and against.
It is a pleasure to be honorary member of Holroyd Rangers and we come visit the next time we are in the Sydney area.
Best wishes to all for the comming seasons. And good luck to Australia at the world cup 2010.
Emma, Asta, Iris and Henning
