 Dana Cup Driver on a Long Trip

 When one of Dana Cup's friendly drivers last night had to pick up two injured players at Hospital Vendsyssel, he got an extra experience. At the hospital they had an additional three players, who had to be brought home so, of course, they asked if they could get a lift now that Dana Cup's driver happened to be at the hospital.

'Naturally, answered the polite driver. When the first two players had been dropped off, he asked the remaining three, who turned out to come from Brazil, where they wanted to go. Skagen, they answered in broken English. The driver found that answer a bit strange and, consequently, he asked several times if they meant the town of Skagen 50 km north of Hjørring or Skaga Hotel in the town of Hirtshals just north of Hjørring. Thus, they agreed that it was probably Skaga Hotel, but when they got there, the Brazilian players shook their heads.

'The players maintained that they had to go to Skagen and after the driver had phoned the Secretariat, they agreed that the driver better drive to Skagen – even though it did sound a bit strange that Brazilian players participating in Dana Cup had decided to stay far away in Skagen,' explained Kasper Poulsen, who is in charge of transport during Dana Cup, at today's meeting for school leaders.

When the car reached Skagen, one of the players, in more or less perfect English, burst out:

'It is such a positive experience to see that Skaw Cup and Dana Cup are able to collaborate in transporting injured players'.
