Billy Marwaha got on the scoresheet in a 4-0 win over Italy, followed by a 6-0 defeat of Ireland, narrow 1-0 victory over Scotland, and a 6-0 triumph of Wales. They then faced the difficult task of overcoming Germany and the Netherlands but were beaten 4-1 and 4-3 to round off the pool games. Marwaha registered the equaliser for 3-3 in their final pool game, before the Dutch sealed victory moments later. They faced Wales in the Bronze medal match and came out on top, winning 4-1.
