Sometimes I hate playing in Europe. Two contests against Finns with a horrible call game really put me off, and then we ourselves made some pretty petty calls against Cambo cakes (who we've enjoyed a fun rivalry with, helped by always winning!) and the Italians in our last game (when we'd lost two or three players, and again presented little in the way of defense).

Still, highlights included a Sudden Death upset against EMO (taking three points on the bounce to win it) and watching our girls in the Semi against the Germans. Getting a home team in all four finals (and two in the Womens), winning three of them, shows that GB may be started to dominate the European scene. Or was it just home advantage?
