A shock defeat for Great Britain in the opening of the first World Championship
Israel made a perfect start to their World Championship group at the English Institute of Sport, Sheffield, with a four-set win over hosts Great Britain (25-14, 21-25, 25-22, 25-14) in 100 minutes. The Israelis built on a strong start to win convincingly in the end as Great Britain failed to find the form they had shown at home in the European League last summer.
