Ortmann: We Need Your Help
With the 2004 Mosconi Cup a little over a month away, preparations are well underway to make the Mosconi XI the biggest and best one yet.
Taking place from 16 - 19 December at the Hotel Zuiderduin, in Egmond aan Zee, full houses are expected as Team USA travel to Holland to defend the trophy they won so well in Las Vegas last December.
For the Europeans, it will be a golden opportunity to reclaim the cup following a magnificent team performance at the York Hall in 2002.
However, according to Euro skipper Oliver Ortmann, there will be one critical factor that will tip the scales in favour of his side - the fans.
“Let’s face it, the crowds at the York Hall were nothing short of magnificent. They put the wind up the Americans and got behind us every step of the way, said Ortmann.
“For my team, this is the best atmosphere to play in and I feel sure that with the help of the fans we can put in the type of performances that can make winning a possibility.
“I believe that the Dutch, as well as Germans, Brits and Scandinavians will be out in force in December to cheer us on to victory. The noise they make is definitely worth a few racks to us.”
