A tough opening Celtic Cup match for our Troon-Vikings ladies against Irish champions Astra. We held our own during the first quarter of the game, only 1 or 2 goals in it, before Astra pulled away for an 8-14 half-time lead, and then extended it further in the second half with a series of fast-break attacks to run out clear 14-32 winners! 5 goals for top scorer Nadine Waehning, with captain Sandra Christke-Lamb netting 4, Andrea Raspolic 3, and one each for Andrea Gunner and Caroline Bergum, with a player-of-the-match goalkeeping display from Andrea King.
