Last weekend, German 2nd Division side, TSV Altenholz narrowly defeated their nearby rivals HSG Tarp/Wanderup, 20-19.  Scoring the game winning 7 meter penalty shot was Australian, Bevan Calvert.  Calvert, 27 has been a mainstay on the Australian National Team since 2004 and has appeared in 5 consecutive World Championships.

Calvert, who plays right wing  is now in his 5th season with TSV Altenholz and with their promotion last season to the 2nd Division he’s now getting the opportunity to play competitively on a weekly basis in arguably the World’s strongest 2nd Division National League.  So far this season (through 8 matches) he is the team’s 4th leading scorer with 21 goals.
