| 27.6.2019 | Czech girls score 13 goals for easy win vs GB in opening gameGBA - CZE 0:13, 1.kolo | | Johan Čáp 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. |
