Greens turn to a new Dutch striker

GUERNSEY'S quest for a first England Hockey Trophy final in three years will be aided by the introduction of a new Dutch forward into the Sarnian ranks.

Rick Dijxhoorn recently arrived in the island from the Netherlands where he played national league standard. And with Adam Kitching unavailable he goes straight into the side who play their semi-final against West Hampstead on Sunday.

The Sarnians have enjoyed a smooth passage to the last four, with the aid of some glittering efforts.

Player-coach Andy Whalley is confident his side can continue that run and go one step away from repeating the cup-winning side of 2009.
