Great Britain Under-20 women’s extraordinary run through the Division A European Championships came to an end this afternoon as they were routed 68-37 by Russia in the quarter finals.

Russia, the defending champions, were simply too strong for GB, who have exceeded all expectations in their first year competing in Division A after gaining promotion last summer.

Ella Clark led GB with 9 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals, while Jessica Hurd added 9 points and 4 rebounds. Deanne Hayward added 7 points and 3 boards.
