Boys 14 India National Team, India – Alexandria SC 1, Egypt 8-10 (3-4)

A team from India and a team Egypt were meeting each other in the last final of Partille Cup 2010 in Valhalla. Both the teams had made an average of 20 goals in their games in both their groups and the play offs. It was therefore a surprise that the score in half time only was 4-3 to Alexandria from Egypt. Alexandria was the better team in the beginning of the first part of the game, India National Team didn’t really start to fight until they were down by 4-1.

We don’t know if the teams were tired, if it was the indoor court, or if the teams just were playing too good of a defense, but the second half of the game didn’t contain many goals either. Alexandria had made one more goal five minutes in to the second half of the game, and expended their lead to 5-3. In the middle of the second half the teams begun to score, and India scored 6-6 with six minutes left of the game. 6-6 became 7-7 and then 8-8 as India made a score after Alexandria had made one. But with a couple of minutes left of the game did Alexandria two straight goals and where able to win the game with 10-8.

Girls 14 Neistin, Faroe Islands –Hjortshöj Egå IF, Denmark 11-10 (5-5)

The final in Girls 14 was a rough and close fight between Neistin from the Faroe Islands and Hjortshöj Egå from Denmark. It was also a fight between the mother nation Denmark and the team from the self-governed Faroe Island, which still belongs to Denmark. It was tough and even all throughout the first half of the game where Neistin scored the first goal, and then Hjortshöj Egå took the lead with 2-1, and then Neistin with 3-2, and then Hjortshöj Egå with 4-3 and then Neistin with 5-4. Hjortshöj Egå scored a penalty-shoot right before half-time and evened out the scores to 5-5.

Good defense and good goalkeepers held down the number of goals in the game, where Neistin scored and Hjortshöj scored right back, until 10 minutes into the second half of the game when Neistin had a led with two goals for the first time in the game when Hjortshöj Egå got a 2-minutes- suspension. Hjortshöj Egå scored on a penalty-shoot with only one and an half minutes left in the game and evened out the result to 10-10. Neistin got a 2-minutes-suspension, but got themselves a penalty-shoot with only 12 seconds left of the game. They scored on the penalty-shoot and Neistin won with 11-10. This has probably been the most even game in Partille Cup 2010.

Partille Cup’s website made an article about Neistin’s Girls 14 earlier this week. They talked about their hopes to go to this year’s Partille Cup final then.  They did even better than that, they won. It was the first victory ever for the Faroe Islands in Partille Cup, which now have winner from 23 different nations.

Baekkelaget from Norway stated off the game the best and was in a lead with 4-1 after barely 5 minutes game.  Norrköping worked hard to get in the game, but Baekkelaget scored directly after Norrköping every time they scored.  It was a speedy first half of the game were both the goalkeeper, the posts and the bar had to work hard. Baekkelaget had the lead in half-time with 7-5.

Baekkelaget made two goals early in the second half of the game, this gave them a lead with four goals. The boys in Baekkelaget held that lead until it was six minutes left of the game, when Norrköping started to score and reduced Baekkelaget’s lead to only 12-11 with four minutes left of the game.  With 30 seconds left of the game Norrköping scores 13-13 on a penalty-shoot. Baekkelaget scored with only eight seconds left of the game and won a well-deserved victory.

Girls 13 Torslanda HK,Sweden  – Fjellhammer IL 2, Norway 19- 5 (9-2)

Fjellhammer who are dressed in green, always bring many teams to Partille Cup, and this year they have managed to get all the way to the Girls 13 final. Torslanda from Sweden started off the game best and Fjellhammer had noticeable problems with Torlanda’s offensive defense. But after a goal on a penalty-shoot was Fjellhammer able to do an early goal during the first half of the game, and then it only became one more before half-time.  Torslanda scored more easily and had a lead with 9-2 when it was time for half-time.

Fjellhammer continued to fight, but Torslanda was clearly the better team in this final. With a number of counters and a strengthen self-esteem could Torslanda make their lead even bigger and win the game with pretty big numbers in the end, 19-5.

It was the fourth year in a row that this team from Egyptian Police SF won Partille Cup. This time they beat Selestate Alsace. These teams met in the group and then the French won 10-9.

When Anton Karlsson made it 6-4 to Lugi early in the second half, it was the first time in the match that either of the teams had a two goal advantage. And with that advantage the team from Lund never lost control of the game.

Önnered made some good efforts to close the gap in the end, but Lugi’s lead was to big. Also Önnered got double 2 min. suspenstions during the second haft, and that didn’t make things easier.

– This is a great feeling. When it was one minute to play I was sure we would win, tells Anton Karlsson.

Girls 11
Sarpsborg IL, NOR-Fredriksbergs IF, DEN
12-11 (6-4)

This was handball at it’s best. Sarpsborg was in the lead with three goals in the second half, when Fredriksberg got one of their players injured. But then tension rose an the Danes got closer.

With four minutes to play the socre was 11-11 and the final minutes was very, very exciting. Sarpsborg made their winning goal with two minutes to play, and after that Fredriksberg had four chances of scoring, an opportunity from the line in the final second included.

Fredriksberg played offensively during the game and used their keeper Jaquline Tandrup take part in the attacks. But Sarpsborg held out and could celebrate after receiving the Golden Hand from the Swedish champion Ida Odén.

Boys 10
Selestat Alsace HB-Kävlinge HK 2
4-14 (2-5)

In the beginning this looked like a tight game with few gaols.After eleven minutes the score was only 2-2. But then Kävlinge figured out the French offensive defence and took the command.
Thanks to good combinations, specially between Hugo Larsson and Cesar Cammarotto, Kävlinge could break free and make a couple of goals in the end of the half.

After the break Selestat Alsace contiued their offensive defence, they made it 3-5 and had their chances to make their fourth goal. But then Kävlinge make 3-6 and the match went their way. Kävlinge won a well deserved victory.

The Kävlingeplayer Torbjörn Andersson was standing beside the court. he couldn’t play at all since he broke his arm in the semifinal against Stenungsund. But he was very happy after the victory.
– The team is good, we are all good, he said.
Torbjörn broke his arm when he was hit by a ball.
