Day 1 saw the GB team squeak a win over reigning champs Germany (by 3 games!). Day 2 saw the team continue with a convincing 6-0 win against Sweden, setting up a final vs France on Sunday. The GB team needed a 4-2 win against France to lift the trophy but unfortunately - despite some epic and close matches - the team drew 3-3, meaning the IC of France were the overall champions. Well done to France and great effort by IC GB. Thank you to Sweden for a fabulous weekend.
