Another season has come to a close and personally it was a little bitter sweet. The team though had a fantastic year topping the medal table at the World Champs, two world cups and the Under 23 championships. Its now a few easy weeks before we gear up for another season at the end of the month.

Below you will see my thoughts on Amsterdam.
