World Games 2022 Recap

The World Games are now over. Great Britain played very well across five games, with many incredibly close score lines (all but one was within two points), yet sadly each time ended on the unfortunate side of the result. As a result, GB finish 8th/8. 

They do, however, appear to have won spirit! No "4"s or "0"s received, but very good overall results. 

(Rules: 2.0, Fouls: 2.0, Fair: 2.4, Positive: 2.4, Comms: 2.6, Total: 11.4) 

To the athletes and coaches: we're all very proud of you. Well done for being selected and representing us at the highest stage. Winning spirit at this level is no mean feat - maintaining composure and fairness even in the tensest situation is certainly something to applaud. You also gave your all on field, despite the heat and occasional reduced roster. We're hoping you saw some sense that we were all watching and cheering you on from afar. Best of luck to you all in your upcoming WUCC adventures (and beyond)!
