A flurry of goals from Israel saw them take a strong lead but Britain fought back to 14-16 at half time. The score remained close for the rest of the match with Israel only able to extend their lead in the closing minutes.
“Israel did under estimate us” said Great Britain assistant coach Bill Baillie afterwards. “They were a bit complacent because they had beaten us five times before, but they had to keep all their best players on the court for most of the time to stop us.”
