At the World Cup in Italy

34:0! Austria’s roller field hockey cracks without mercy

Austria's national roller field hockey team celebrated its second victory at the World Roller Hockey Championships in Novara, Italy. And it was a huge one - captain Aurel Zehrer & Co. shot the much weaker Chinese team out of the ring with 34:0.

After Austria's national roller field hockey team had already started the World Skate Games in Novara, Italy, with a 9:0 opening victory against South Africa, the red-white-red selection, consisting exclusively of players from the Vorarlberg clubs RHC Wolfurt and RHC Dornbirn, not only went one better in the second game against China, but also went one better.

Captain Aurel Zehrer & Co. mercilessly shot the much weaker representatives from the People's Republic out of the ring. The Austrians already led 24:0 (!) at the break. In the second period, the team coached by Dornbirn coach Francesco Dolce took it a little easier - but only a little! Ten more goals followed, making the final score 34:0. Carlos Levay-Theurer (10), Kilian Hagspiel (9), Kilian Jochum, Elias Mark, Noel Hilbe (all 3), Kilian Laritz (2) and Aurel Zehrer were responsible for the scoring feast.

Now against India
The next game in the Challengers group will be played tomorrow (12) by the previously unblemished national team - and they will again be favorites against India.
