    Players of the game:

    GBR – James Tanner, goaltender
    CZE – Michal Simo, 1 goal, 3 assists

    The national anthem of the Czech Republic is now playing. (20:36:08)
     
    As expected, the Czechs won without much difficulty. The Brits stayed with them for a while, but after the Czechs scored 3 quick goals in the second period, they had firm control of the game and rode it to the end. The Brits did get some good scoring chances in the game but ran into some good Czech goaltending, and finally broke through with 1:05 left.

    The Czechs are finished for the tournament, and stay in Division 1 for next year. Britain will now play Slovakia tomorrow, and the loser will be relegated to Division 2.
