International Roller Hockey

Herne Bay United vs Hockey Club Prato (ITA)


The Pier, Herne Bay ~ Saturday, 15 December 2007


Having won the English Premier League title Herne Bay United seniors will be competing in the European League for the 2007/8 season.

This European league is made-up of clubs from among the national champions of each European country, the current holders of the Champions' League and the winner and runner-up of the CERS Cup 2006/7.

Herne Bay United is drawn in Group "B" along with FC Porto (PRT), Hockey Club Prato (ITA), Club Pati Vic (ESP) and has to play each club both at home and away. The home match with the Spanish Club, Pati Vic was played at The Pier on 17 November, the forthcoming match with the Italian Club HC Prato takes place on Saturday 15 December, and the third home match, with FC Porto is scheduled for 19 January.

Aileen Baker said:
The Italians - Hockey Club Prato - are the visiting team on this occasion. Their player coach is the only name familiar to us - Enrico Bernadini. A veteran now and we saw him recently in an exhibition game in Montreux at the World Championships. He may not have quite the speed he had in 1999 but he now has the extra experience to use his skills to very good effect. He also still has the trademark of wearing only one glove!
