GB Open played USA (DoG from Boston) this morning, with the idea of having fun. The relaxed play and huge celebrations from GB put them 6-4 up, and forced USA to take a time-out after a huge grab off a mac in the zone by Si Weeks. The time out didn't seem to help as Boston lost the first half 10-7 (games to 19). DoG's Defence coordinator commented to Steve Mooney, their capt, that none of their numerous junk D's seemed to stop the fluid GB Offence. However, Boston stepped up their D in the 2nd half, taking 5 in a row after half. and the game finished 19-11 to USA. GB Women played close games against both Sweden and Finland, with the lead trading places many times during the games. GB lost both games by 2 points, although due to the format of round robin pool play then 1/4's and the dramatic improvment of the GB team during the first 2 days both finland and sweden will not be looking forward to a rematch. Juniors thrashed Germany yesterday, but have lost to USA, Sweden and Canada. Thats all for now, check the tourney web page for more results, unless it is as badly organised as the transportation here, in which case we will be home to tell you before you find out on the web.
