Great Britain play their second game at the World Championship Division 1 Group A in Budapest as they take on Kazakhstan this afternoon.

Both sides won their opening games of the tournament, with GB beating top seeds Slovenia 3-1 and Kazakhstan securing a 3-0 win over hosts Hungary.

It was a fantastic victory for GB against the world-ranked 15th team, with today’s opponents ranked 17th in the world.

It has been an interesting start to the tournament with five sides currently on three points, with only Slovenia without a victory so far.

Two teams are promoted to the top-level World Championship with one side relegated to Division 1 Group B for next season.
