GB secure 9th place at the European Championship with a controlled performance today in their classification game against Croatia. -

29455788610_a7d3193042A measured start by GB in Quarter 1 saw the Croatians convert early on to take the lead, followed immediately by an equalising lob over the keeper’s head from Isobel Howe.

End Q1 GB 1 – CRO 2.

Lifted by the large (and vocal) travelling GB support in the stands, the tempo of our game picked up significantly in the 2nd quarter.

Hannah Patchett scored twice, once from Extra to equalise, and then a pinch (a goal scored precisely in the top corner where bar and post meet) from 8m. Buoyed by the Patchett, Isobel Howe and Izzy Dean exchanged multiple passes before Isobel H converted her second of the game, and Katy Cutler then went in at the near post. The half closed with GB in control and ahead on the scoresheet 5-3.

29635678972_f0788846ce_zQ3 opened with a precise pass from the Scottish leftie Hannah Edwards into pit, which Captain Rosie Huck despatched with ease, while at the other end Sophie Jackson was making some excellent saves from Croatian long range efforts. Kathy Rogers added her name to the score sheet maintaining the differential with a tied third quarter 2-2.

GB’s well drilled and executed defence ensured a no score 4th as the Croatians could find no way through. Deserved winners of the match, GB finish 9th in Europe.
