Definitely will e a tough game as Finland have two players, Rajala and Lehtoranta, who are in the top group of %ge shots scored of the tournament.
The team have done really well to win their first round group and qualify for the final group
Very unfortunate to lose by just one point to the home team and home supporters.
If they do qualify for Division A it will be a huge achievement for them.
England U18 team beat Finlandd 73 to 59 to achieve 3rd place and promotion to Division A.
Many congratulations to Coach Bucknall, the players and all the coaching staff.
