Whitchurch in Europe - Day 1
Whitchurch started their Euro campaign with a 3 -3 draw against Stroitel Brest (BLR). Despite going behind to a penalty stroke after just 9', Joe Naughalty came close to equalising with his shot just clearing the bar. Whitchurch conceded a further goal after 20' but it was Naughalty who pulled one back after great work by Tom Fisher. The first 5 minutes of the second half proved to be very entertaining as firstly Stroitel went further ahead from a deflection and Laith El Khatib and then Jon Collis both scoring to level the match. Iwan Williams proved to be Whitchurch's saviour making a number of excellent saves and with no further goals each team took 1 point.

Whitchurch in Europe - Day 2
Whitchurch turned on the style against Orient Lyngby (DEN) in beating them 5-1. Despite going behind after 14', Jon Collis also immediately drew the Welshmen level with a penalty corner. Whitchurch forced a number of saves from the Danish goalkeeper but it wasn't until the second half that the floodgates opened. Joe Naughalty scored his second of the tournament, but it was Collis, with two penalty corners who broke the Danes resistance.
Young finished the scoring late in the game to ensure that Whitchurch took
all three points and put themselves at the top of the table.

Whitchurch in Europe - Day 3
Going into this game knowing that a point would almost certainly mean a
chance of a promotion match, Whitchurch conceded two goals in the first 22'
and despite forcing a number of penalty corners could not make any inroads
to the deficit before half-time. A further three penalty corners early in
the second half came to nothing but it was Jon Collis who started the
fightback when converting a penalty stroke after 53' and when Naughalty
converted another chance after 66' Whitchurch thought they had the point
they needed. However the Italians had other ideas and with just 2' on the
clock a deflected free hit flew past Williams to win the game for the hosts.
