Bo Guttormsdottir Frost's 19 points and 9 rebounds carried Great Britain's U18 women past Denmark, 68–60, in a disciplined defensive display at FIBA U18 Women's EuroBasket Division B. Frost's work on the boards proved decisive in a match where possession control mattered. She added two steals and a block to a performance that demanded little flash but significant grunt — the kind of interior presence that compounds over 40 minutes. Her shooting efficiency and willingness to move the ball (2 assists) kept the attack ticking when Denmark tightened up on the perimeter. Our GB defence held Denmark to 60 points. That foundation — not individual heroics — is why we leave this one with a win.

Great Britain's U18 Women pulled clear late to hold off Denmark's comeback bid, winning 68–60 in a back-and-forth contest that saw ten lead changes and five ties across the tournament in Division B. Our GB side seized control early, opening with a 24–13 first quarter and stretching the lead to 15 points at 20–5. A clinical 9–0 run in the second quarter (27–25 to 36–25) seemed to have tilted the momentum decisively. But Denmark clawed back steadily. The third quarter swung sharply their way; Denmark outscored GB 20–14 to draw within one at 50–49 heading into the final period. The closing eight minutes proved decisive. GB managed 17 points to Denmark's 11, edging clear in the final two minutes when it mattered most. Bo Guttormsdottir Frost led the way with 19 points and 9 rebounds on 7/16 shooting, steadying the offence when Denmark pressed. Sister Isey chipped in 18 points and 4 assists (6/15 FG, 5/8 FT), while Ophelia Larder-Lee's efficiency off the bench — 11 points on 4/5 from the floor, 3/4 from three — provided crucial depth. Caroline Reumert kept Denmark in the contest with 21 points, though she managed just 9/25 from the field and 2/8 from the free-throw line. Elisa Gurkan-Douglas added 16 points and 9 rebounds but couldn't generate the second-half surge needed to complete the comeback.

Denmark's Elisa Gurkan-Douglas enters this Division B fixture running hot: 57.3 TIB Efficiency, 21 points per game over recent outings. That kind of scoring volume will test our GB defence early, and Bella Rogers—our standout at 27.8 TIB Eff and 7.3 PPG—will need support to contain her. Rogers has been steady for us, but Gurkan-Douglas is operating on a different scale right now. The Danish forward's efficiency rating is nearly double our lead scorer's, a gap that doesn't flatten itself in U18 competition. How our GB side responds to that pressure in the opening quarter will shape the entire encounter. Both teams arrive at this U18 EuroBasket Division B meeting seeking to build momentum. Our GB will have the advantage of home fixtures ahead, but first comes the work: matching Gurkan-Douglas's rhythm and finding ways for Rogers to impose herself on both ends. Tip-off in three hours.
