C. T R E B O V A – The Czech U18 girls’ national team started the Junior World Cup with a huge offensive performance and achieved its first three points without any big problems. Nevertheless, Team GB played a likeable game full of passion and effort. However, five minutes of the game, the Czechs took the early lead. In the second period, British goalie Charlotte Jackson had to unfortunately leave the game due to nausea and, because the team lacked a backup goalie, forward Kirsten Rean went into the net. Thanks to that fact, the Czechs scored 13 goals for a relatively easy win. One of the most dominant players of the match was obviously 17-year-old Kristyna Kaltounkova (4 goals) who also played at the recently completed ISBHF World Championship in Kosice.

Martin Davidek (coach the team Czech Republic): The game and our performace was really good. We played with the GB several times, but on the other hand, we don´t know how difficult would be a match at such specific tournament. My squad was well-preparad, so the game was not so tough and we spent some energy for Friday´s match which will be more important. We had an opportunity to test some game systems and specific tactics. I´m satisfied with our performace.
