The under 16 national team have won the Four Nations!

In the final under 16 Four Nations match, Russia took on the Czech Republic in Finland.

Our team needed a win to guarantee first place in the table, and the players made a great start. Alexander Zhabreev scored a quick fire brace in the opening period, and Kirill Marchenko extended the lead to three in the second.
