The Czech Republic and reigning Nordic Champions Norway will play an international match on 21 October, in the Czech Republic. It will be the third meeting between the countries.

Czech national team head coach, Ladislav Cintler noted: “Games with Norway are always a big challenge for us. There is significant growth in both of our domestic competitions so it’s a good opportunity to test each other again at international level.  We succeeded in a very close match last year and we hope that will be the same this time.”

Norway defeated the Czech Republic 26-14 in the 2013 European Championship C (pictured) in their first meeting, but the Czechs got their revenge last year, winning 12-6 in September. If Norway triumph it will be the first time they have won three consecutive games, whilst if the Czech Republic win they will have registered unprecedented consecutive victories.

“We are very excited to be returning to the Czech Republic,” said Norway coach Dave Hunter. “Hopefully we will see a great game between to evenly matched teams. We were disappointed to just lose out last year, so we will be training hard and looking to end our international season on a high.”
