Australia's Senior Men's Inline Hockey Team
completes its
final preparation today in readiness for their first game against Mexico
(Monday 11am local time). With five pool games ahead of them, the team
is
making sure that all is ready for the drop of the puck. With consecutive
13th
placings at the last two World Championships, the Team is focussed on
improving
their world ranking this year.
Apart from their opposition, the European heat will
be an
added element that all players will need to contend with. With
temperatures
above 30 degrees each day, proper recovery session and re-hydration will
be
some of the main areas team trainer/medic Denise McFarlane will be
focussing on for the team during the course of the tournament.
As part of the warm-up for this event, Australia
had an
exhibition game yesterday against 8th ranked Columbia.
Australia was impressive with their puck control and movement with the
final
score 5 - 1. With goals scored by Chris Brophy (2) and one each to
Stephen
Belic, Michael Haynes & Steven Adams, the result was a good
indication as
to where the team is at in readiness for this event.
The team consists of;
Todd Maclou GK
Michael Smart GK
Steven Adams
Stephen Belic
Enrico Bergamin
Gavin Best
