Interview:

FIHB: You are the champion in your country. Can you tell in few words, what you have done for succeed?

Koen Vink: We are a team that play for 3 years with the same player and became a real group.

Each player knows, what is our best position in the game and what are our handicaps.

We don’t forget that horseball is more then playing a ball, it is a real discipline in horse riding.

You need to be a good rider to become a good horseball player.

FIHB: What do you think about “The Champion’s League”?

K.V.: I think that this is a great opportunity to test our team against the best of Europe players and teams.

It is also the best promotions you can do for the sport. Let’s play horseball.

FIHB: The Champion’s League takes place for the first time this year. And you are one of the 4 teams participating.  What does it signify for you?

K.V.: It’s a great honour for us to play this Champions League this year. It is also an award for us for the many work the players and horses have done over the years to evaluate to an excellent team.

FIHB: What are you expecting for you team?

K.V.: I really don’t know. I think we have to see our opponents. I hoop to have a great first match.

FIHB: Can you say some words about the players in your team?
