After close matches against Luxembourg and Belgium, the GB side were looking to keep their form going into their third and final game in three days.

But after a strong start to the match Mulhouse took the lead, and a well organised side kept GB at bay with a 5-1 defence giving the GB side plenty to think about and ran out 26-21 winners.

With Luxembourg and Belgium having played 6-0 and 3-2-1 respectively, head coach Dragan Djukic knew his team would learn from having to cope with another defensive formation, and while they fought well they could not take the win.

Once again, missed chances left GB struggling to catch their rivals, but the tournament will at least have been a valuable learning experience for the team.
