History
2011 will be the 3rd edition of the Netherlands Easter Trophy. In 2010, the tournament comprised teams from Holland, Slovakia, Scotland and England.

Location
The village of Hengelo is located in the province of Gelderland, close to the German border and near to Arnhem, a city made famous by it's 'Bridge Too Far'. Today, Arnhem is a very modern city with excellent shopping and fantastic nightlife. The province of Gelderland is very attractive with historic cities and lovely villages.

Programme
The hub of the tournament is the spacious clubhouse which remains open into the evenings with music every night. Sightseeing possibilities include a visit to Amsterdam and the Ajax Stadium.

Our Opinion
The event is ideal for clubs requiring a tournament which isn't too strong, but which has a friendly, personal feel to it. The province of Gelderland is a delightful region of the Netherlands and we are expecting a high level of interest for the 3rd event in 2011.
