The Canadians will soon be on the court in Gothenburg, but already today, several games have taken place.

   vs.   

Switzerland beat Austria by a score of 45-42 to earn 11th spot. Although the Austrians came on strong in the 4th quarter, it was not enough to get by the determined Swiss, who had a 5 point lead going in to the final quarter.



   vs.   

Germany took 9th place by defeating Holland by a comfortable 42-35 score.  Most of the scoring was done by André Leonhard (2.0) and Bernd Janssen, who combined for 29 of their teams points.



   vs.   

Sweden, the popular host team, squeaked by the speedy Japanese by a single goal, 32-31, despite the best efforts of a determined Japanese team, which is only going to improve in the years to come.  Sweden drops two spots on the IWRF World Ranking, and the Japanese move up a notch.



   vs.   

In the match against the best teams who were out of the medal race, the mighty Kiwis met the vastly improved Brits, who had already defeated them in their earlier pool game on Day 2 of the World Championships.  The Brits came out strong in the first quarter, with a 10-5 lead, and continued their domination of the Paralympic Games bronze medallists.  The final score showed the skill of the Brits in this game, as they coasted to a 37-26 victory, and secured 5th place.  John Lilley led the British team with 13 goals.


Bronze Medal Game:

   vs.   

Not many details are available at this time aside from the score.  The Aussies are the bronze medallists at these 3rd IWRF World Championships, defeating the surprising Belgians 45-38.
