However, due to a pitch watering issue, the Club Challenge I fixtures have all been rescheduled.

After the two sides meet for the opening fixture, they will play the remaining two teams in their Pool &#8211; SK Slavia Prague (Czech Republic) and Gintra Strekte Uni HC (Lithuania) &#8211; before being appropriately placed based on results from the six matches.  The final position will determine whether teams will be playing for the Promotion Play-Off Final or the Relegation Play-Off Final.  A Promotion Play-Off win would promote the club&#8217;s respective country&#8217;s seeding for next season to the next European competition above Club Challenge I, whilst a loss in the Relegation Play-Off would go a seeding below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incidentally, the L1s have not played HC Rotweiss Wittengen in recent years, but came up against Gintra Strekte Uni HC in last year&#8217;s Club Challenge I &#8211; with the L1s winning 4-2 in their opening game of the competition.  The two sides also met in this year&#8217;s European Indoor Club Trophy, with Gintra sealing an 8-2 win, whilst SK Slavia Prague won 4-2 against the L1s in the same competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Head Coach Derek Forsyth, there are no issues with personnel as all of the selected squad for Lille are expected to feature during tomorrow&#8217;s clash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo credit: Andy Lovat<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EuroHockey Club Challenge I &#8211; Lille Clydesdale Western vs. HC Rotweiss Wittengen &#8211; 9.15am PB Clydesdale Western begin their EuroHockey Club Challenge I campaign off with a Pool A clash against HC Rotweiss Wittengen from the revised time of 9.15am in Lille, France.
