Luxembourg take 12th in Dutch Curling Event (Zoetermeer)

Zoetermeer 08-2014   Curling Luxembourg has returned from an international tournament in Zoetermeer, The Netherlands, where they finished 12th in their second warm-up for the European Championships in October.

In a tournament that attracted a line-up of no less than 18 teams, of which no less than 13 were representing different national teams, Luxembourg defeated the Dutch National Women’s team to earn a 9-3 victory.

After defeats (some in very close games) against teams from Spain Ladies (6-8), Finland (mixed) (4-12) and Spain-Juniors (7-11), their third match for 11th place against Zoetermeer ended up a 3-8 loss.

Luxembourg was represented by Alex Benoy (skip), Yannick Hansen, Marc Hansen and Claude Schweitzer continue to prepare for the European Championship in October.

Luxembourg finishes 7th

Thursday evening,
Wales – Luxembourg 7 – 1.
The ecc cgroup favourite was simply too constant in its play for the less experienced Luxembourg team.
The result was therefore logical.

Friday morning,

Luxembourg- Belarus 4- 10.

The lux national team fighted, but could not beat the belarus team, that finally brought his best performance of the Championship.
(they were together with Wales and Ireland the favorites of the C-Group!)

The Championship is now over for the Luxembourgers and they finish at the 7 th place with 2 victories.
Jörg Moeser, Yves Sieradzki, Claude Schweitzer, Alex Benoy and Marc Hansen can be proud of their performance.
Good representation of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg in the international Curling World.

In winning two matches (against Iceland and Serbia), they doubled their expectations. Unfortunately they do not finish before Serbia, as they won 4 matches.

Tomorrow will take place the play-offs between Wales, Romania, Slovenia and Serbia for the 4 first places.
Final results places 5 to 8:
5. Belarus and Ireland 3 victories
7. Luxembourg 2 victories
​8. Iceland 0 victories
