GB women claim bronze at worlds

Great Britain's women's ice hockey team clinched bronze in the second division of the world championships in Italy.

GB, who lost the gold medal tie and promotion match to Latvia on Thursday, went down 4-1 to South Korea in their final game on Saturday.

Korea led 3-0 after the second session and added another in the third before Katie Henry grabbed a consolation.

"I am just unspeakably proud of what this team has been able to achieve," said team manager Anna Walters.

"To have come from Div III Silver in 2007 to playing for a gold medal in Div II is testament to the hard work and commitment of both the players and the coaching and management team."
