Poland and Czechia set for II-B “final” showdown in Vienna

Women’s EuroHockey U21 Championship II-B (Vienna, Austria) – day 3 round-up

Poland and Czechia will play what amounts to a final on Saturday after they both continued their super runs in Vienna, making it three wins from three.

They play at 10.00 (CEST) with the title on the line which brings EuroHockey promotion and a Junior World Cup spot.

For the Poles, their winning streak took them past Switzerland 5-0, racing in front through Julia Rymer in the ninth minute and they never looked back.

Oliwia Tujdowska, Hanna Wochna, Natalia Bucher and Natalia Kucharska all added further goals which also give them the advantage over Czechia on goal difference.

For the Czechs, they left it late but got their 1-0 win over Austria in the 56th minute with Adéla Urhová scoring from a well-executed corner move.

Austria had the edge in the first half before the Czechs started to control proceedings in the second half and eventually got their reward.

Austria will now play Türkiye for bronze on Sunday at 12.15 (CEST) to close out the tournament.
