Turkey U21 v Latvia - Preview

Today sees the final round of matches of the Four Nations International Handball Tournament at the English Institute of Sport, Sheffield.

Turkey U21s face Latvia this afternoon and later today hosts GB will play a resurgent Faroe Islands, knowing that a win will see them lift the trophy on their home soil.

The young Turkish side will be looking to get something out of their visit to England following their opening day loss 22-13 against the hosts and their 24-10 defeat at the hands of the Faroe Islands yesterday.

Latvia, despite losing 25-20 against GB last night, will be hoping to draw on their opening day 23-21 victory against the Faroe Islands and will welcome the return of their influential left-back Jolante Bicka, who saw red early on in the second half against Britain.
