Bosnia W 4 L 1 +63
Turkey W 4 L 1 + 44
England W 4 L 1 + 40
Serbia W 3 L 2 + 32


Frustrating loss today, things would be looking much rosier if we managed to reduce the damage, Hobson got completely towelled up by their SG who had a night out. Am also surprised at the poor OD rating the team got.

Last round games: Turkey v Romania (6) , Us v Serbia, Bosnia v Sumoi (5)

Table hasn’t updated yet so I posted it above. We need to win by 4 points more than Turkey wins by, or hope that Bosnia or Turkey lose to advance to the 2nd round of qualifiers. We can also get through if we lose by less than 3 points & Turkey lose by 7 or more.

We can also hope that Serbia dont CT while Romania & Sumoi both do, but i find that scenario a bit unlikely.

if i may be honest, we must hope getting through on points. I doubt serbia or bosnia wont win their game...

Whatever the outcome, with the (very) poor English squad we have, compared to other NT, I think waggyrob did an ace job. I would never have put my money on England being still in the mix when the last round comes around...

Keep up the good work!!!

I agree waggyrob has done a great job. I expected us to do well mainly because of home advantage and how we got to the final of the consolation tourney. But we don't have the greatest squad. Should be an exciting week

Bit of a downer, that loss, but this has been a very competitive group. We're still in with a shot, so don't get too downhearted.

Fingers crossed!

Half way through our must win final qualification game & the cards are stacked against us. Scores tied at the half but we have lost our best inside scorer Paris to injury, & his backup is 0-4.

Going to be a tight 2nd half.

Around the grounds - Turkey are down 4 points at half time to Romania & Bosnia are winning.

LIVE LADDER (@ end of 3rd in both games) & ignoring Bosnia

Serbia - 68 England - 77
Romania - 77 - Turkey - 68


2: England + 53
3: Turkey + 31


EDIT - Sumoi have mounted some form of comeback & are only down 5 points against Bosnia at the end of the 3rd.

it would be nice to tell the coach that we can afford to lose by 2 points

UL. Fantastic effort though.
You've had a good first competitive season and here's hoping England kicks on next season with the reinforcements en route from the Juniors.
