Uppsala, Sweden, 10-14 March
NETHERLANDS CHAMPION!
Netherlands won the World Championship Group B with a solid victory against Germany in the final. There was never any doubt about which team would win. Netherlands showed it quite quickly in the first half that they were the better team. Netherlands won all their matches in the tournament and were well worth this tournament victory. Netherlands won the final by 7-1Â after 5-1 in the first half.Â
The bronze medals were awarded a short while ago to Great Britain. The team won the bronze medal match 13-1. A comfortable victory. Switzerland could only withstand the English pressure a bit into the first half. Then Great Britain pulled away to a solid victory.
