Forman’s trip to watch Team GB Handball
The team at Forman’s has just returned from watching team GB v Angola in their first match of the Handball Tournament. We had no idea what a fast paced and exciting game handball actually is!!
Firstly the Olympic Park is absolutely breath-taking even though it’s still some way off completion, and we had a beautiful, clear, crisp sunny day for our first walk through it.
We’re still not too sure of all the handball rules,but it was a nail biting match with us beating the Angolans 22-20, one of the goals having been scored by our very own Louise Jukes whom Formans has sponsored. I cheered myself hoarse and look forward to team GB’s progress through the competition over the next few days ending with the finals on Sunday 27th November.
The atmosphere was incredible and it really gave me an idea of just how amazing the 2012 Olympic Games are going to be.
If I had any reservations about us hosting the Games and the cost they were all blown away in one thrilling match.
Go team GB!! Woohoo!!

Your report from the Handball GB V Angola match has certainly whetted my appetite not only for your delicious smoked salmon and all the festive goodies that you supply but also for the forthcoming 2012 Games here in London Town. I too was sceptical about the cost during this world wide depression, however we must look up at the stars and not into the gutter, so with aspiration in our hearts and economics at the fore front of our minds lets look to bringing that much needed revenue and a sense of pride back to the East end as well as the rest of world
. Go team G.B. oh! yes and more importantly…Go team Ireland!!
