GREAT Britain Men take on Israel in the opening match of their 2013 World Championships qualifying group next Wednesday (November 2).The clash, which is at 7pm at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre in London, is the team’s first competitive match since August.
They last played at Crystal Palace in June 2010 when they secured their first competitive victory with a dramatic 32-33 win over Bulgaria – but the team will be keen to show just how much they have improved.
Wednesday’s opponents Israel also played in the qualifying stages of Euro 2010, but they fared better and won all three of their games to top the group and reach the second qualifying stage.
Following Wednesday’s clash GB head to Israel for the return leg on Sunday, November 6.
They then play in Austria on January 5 before playing the same opponent back at Crystal Palace on January 8.
Tickets for the GB v Israel clash are still available at http://www.amiando.com/britishhandball or on the door.

Why does this website only cover stories on the national teams? Plenty is happening in the actual english league, where english handball is actually being played!!!
