England duly completed the victory that has been on
the cards for almost the entire tournament to become European
Ladies Team Champions at the first attempt. Nicola Smith,
Heather Dhondy, Michelle Brunner and Sally Brock
have all won before representing Great Britain, but
it was a first victory for Rhona Goldenfied and Margaret
Courtney. The reigning Venice Cup Champions, The Netherlands,
will get the chance to defend their title after finished second.
Germany took the bronze medals despite an amazing last
round collapse while Austria and Italy secured
the two remaining qualifying places. These five teams will
carry the hopes of Europe to Bali.
