ANDREA HOLT, the women's national champion, whose three wins against France on Tuesday made England almost sure of a place in the final of the European League for the first time, will today be trying to take the British League champions, BFL Grove, to the semi-finals of the European Cup. Holt teams up again with the European silver medallist, Lisa Lomas, for the Market Drayton side's semi-final tie with the title-holders, Steinhagen, from Germany, who not only have home advantage but a powerful squad including the former world No 1, Geng Lijuan, the Chinese-born Canadian.
