South Hants take fourth spot in Copenhagen Sit Cup 2026

South Hants, winners of the last round of the domestic competition, and Panthers flew out to Denmark to play over the weekend. 

With teams from Finland, Italy, Norway, Germany and the hosts all took part in a 10-team competition. 

Finnish team TSI took the title ahead of Italian teams Brembate and CUS Verona, with Hants claiming fourth spot and Panthers ninth. 

England were also well represented in terms of officials, with Rita Grimes and Herman Prada inivited to referee. 

"It was a great weekend and a much higher standard than when we played in the event last year," said Hants player and Head Coach Richard Osborne. 

"We had a great opening day, but a small squad and tiredness took its toll on day two. 

"Even so, we still enjoyed it and loved interacting with the other teams and our hosts planned and delivered perfectly, as always. 

"We’ve made connections with an Italian team and will be looking into taking part in its tournament next year. The quality of the Italian teams was, as you would imagine, very good with excellent technical ability." 

Both GB-based teams will now turn their attention to the next round of the Sitting Grand Prix Series on Sunday 6th December.
