In this round they faced strong opponents and after equalising in the last few seconds the girls went on to win this match with a golden goal. This win meant the team progressed into a group to play for 5th to 8th place in the tournament. Dame B’s recorded 1 win and 2 defeats at this stage meaning the team finished in a superb 7th place overall out of 38 team and frustratingly just one position away from qualifying for the national finals. A superb effort by all of the girls.
