England finish 8th in Champions Cup

England's representatives have finished 8th in the Champions Cup in Zagreb. The competition featured the top ten European nations from the European Championships, plus the hosts and defending champions.

England were represented by the winners of the 2015 Premier League - Justin Hackett, Jason Hackett, Alex Hydes, David Mossop & David Price plus Paul Hackett (Colin Simpson was part of the winning team but is unable to participate).

They finished the round robin phase in sixth place, but in the playoffs they lost both matches to finish in eighth.

The competition was won by the Monaco team, with the defending champions - Allegra from Italy - down in fifth.
