Honourable Queen won the opening game 2016
Thursday 5th of May was held the first and opening game of the Tallink Cup 2016. Office team versus Baltic Queen (group D) at Kalev stadium (Tallinn) – kick off 10:00 local time.
As most of the teams in our tournament are representing the ships, then the games in opposition “land versus sea” are always in some angle full of principles. Office team (mainly our colleagues from our land organization of Finland) has showed very good games last year, when they fight their way to the bronze medals. Queen, big and powerful ship from Tallinn-Helsinki line, reached last season to quarterfinals. From the archive, these teams have played against each other 2014 also in group level game, when sea was better 2:1.
The game started with the slight pressure from Office side and they managed to open the score on the 13th minutes. Queen gathered their forces and with their hardware veteran equalized the score about 10 minutes later. Half time, after quite equal fight, score on the board in tie 1:1. Second half the equal fight continued, but it must be admitted, that Queen fined the holes and used their opportunities with much more effect, where three goals in after every ten minutes was a hard fact for “land rats” in their net. All in all good game from both sides, but noble Queen deserved her win.
Final score Baltic Queen versus Office 4:1 (half time 1:1). Honorable Queen of Baltics won the opening game of 2016 – hip hip hurray lads!

Jaakko Ruuskanen (Office) 13´ 1:0
