Game 8 - Dynamoes v DNace

on 04 August 2012.

So here we are on a muggy finals day in Pardubice. There is plenty of cloud cover at the moment but we expect the sun to burn through and hope that the Dynamoe bats will be as scorching as the weather (groooooan…). There is disappointment across the camp that we are not featuring in the page play offs for the first time in our experience at this tournament but there is still a strong desire to show this Czech team that we can hit and we look forward to finishing the tournament with a good solid winning performance.

Dynamoes Game 7 v Askoe Linz St
