Quick update

We've played 2 matches since our win against Engelholm at home..

Last weekend we played away in Falköping and after a week with only 2 practices due to cancellation in the Arena and a big team metting, we still managed to get a quick 3 - 0 win in their Gym.
Falköping has a lot of potential, but the lack consistancy and struggle to find answers once pushed in their passing line, so it was a good win for us.

After the match I went for a small visit in Denmark and got to hang out with a couple of players from my team last year, and that was really great.. We had a fun party and then back to Sweden the next day.

This past weekend we played Örebro at home.. The local rivals and a big deal here in the small town we live in... Örebro has always been a "big sister" to Lindesberg since they have been a dominating team in swedish volleyball for a while now and Lindesberg has only played in the elite for 4 season(this being the 5th.)

Last year Lindesberg won both matches against Örebro but still finished the season behind them.. This year we won the first match in Örebro and now we've won the 2nd one as well... let's not hope history repeats itself and sends us packing in the quater finals.

We played at home in front of about 500 people and much like last time we played Örebro it was a match full of errors and lack of attitude on our part, but the girls fought their way through it and came out on top in another 3 - 1 win.
With this win we are now only 2 matches away from finishing in top3 in the regular season, and we are still with a chance to get 2nd place which will give us homecourt advantage in the play offs.. at home we are 7 - 0 in matches with a setscore of 21-4 so obviously we would like to play at home in the play offs as well.

To finish 2nd we need to win the last 2 matches against Svedala away on Saturday and the week after it is Sollentuna away. Both are teams we beat 3-0 the first time we played them, but they have both also showed much improvement since then and we know we will have our work cut out..

We are working hard at practice these weeks getting ready for the quater finals and our focus is to make our own points and not rely on the other teams to give us them.. We want to have a "you only get what you take" attitude as we approach the big matches coming up...
