That is because Jesper Holmris’ side, featuring Suffolk’s Louise Jukes, went down 22-17 defeat to Slovakia today.

The tournament had got off to a flying start for Britain who beat African champions Angola 22-20 in their Group B opener, but defeat to Austria yesterday ended their semi-final hopes.

And today’s loss ensured they finished last in the six-team London 2012 test event.

Poland will face Austria in tomorrow’s final.
