The FB Agents ladies have passed through the preliminaries with an extraordinary result: newly promoted from the second division, we remain unbeaten after eight matches and are qualified for the play-offs top of the table with a five-point lead over the numbers 2, UC Face Off.

Our last match in the preliminaries, last Saturday, was also our most important one so far, as it would decide who would win the preliminaries. We occupied first position, but Face Off was only two points behind, so a win over us would put them in the lead. Thus, we were determined to beat our currently most important competitor for the championship. The match therefore promised to be an exciting one.

The Dutch men’s champions, FB Agents from Amsterdam, managed to seize the runner-up position in the qualification round of the Euro Floorball Cup, western division, staged in Oslo, Norway, August 25 – 29. The team finished just two points behind the Norwegian champions Tunet IBK. “An amazing effort by an amazing team”, said team coach Ulrik Jonsson.

With only one out of five competing teams qualifying for the final round – to be played in Latvia in October – Agents were facing a hard task needing to beat not only the Norwegian champions, but also the French, Spanish and Italian title holders.
