GB encountered a spirited Serbian side in their first cross over game at the Euro Champs today - September 15, 2016
Hopes were high for the GB v Serbia match up following yesterday’s last gasp win against Slovakia, but tempered by the knowledge that in the pre-Championship tournament honours were shared evenly 1 win apiece.
Very much a tale of 2 halves, GB opened their account in quarter 1 with goals from Izzy Dean and Katy Cutler to lead the Serbians 2-1
Quarter 2 was tighter but the single goal advantage to GB remained at the turnaround with Kathy Rogers converting twice, GB 4 – Serbia 3
The GB crowd was silenced by the Serbian tactics in the second half as their shooting from the arc proved devastating and GB were unable to replicate the Serbian accuracy at the other end. Three unanswered Serbian goals gave them momentum which was carried into quarter 4.
Despite Isobel Howe bagging 2 and Hannah Patchett converting a third, the Serbians continued to be clinical both on the extra and from the arc in open play, and emerged deserved winners.
Final score GB 7 – Serbia 12 (2-1, 2-2, 0-3, 3-6)
Scorers
Kathy Rogers 2
Isobel Howe 2
Izzy Dean 1
Hannah Patchett 1
Katy Cutler 1
Following the defeat Coach Nousios identified that under pressure some of the GB decision making was flawed, and there were lapses of concentration when we went man down which cost goals. Additionally, “on the day they had some big shots, but our big shots simply didn’t go in. We will now re-group, prepare for our next game and work to secure the best position we can.”
GB will now play Israel at 11.30am local time tomorrow Friday 16th before a final classification game on Saturday. All the scores as they happen on twitter @ENGwaterpolo and periscope.
