Great Britain men's team promised much ahead of this weekend's European League matches against Croatia at Meadowbank by troubling European champions Spain in Valladolid.

Although GB lost both matches (3-0 and 3-1), they fought toe-to-toe over the two encounters.

Scots Mark McGivern and Chris Lamont both played their part and confidence in the camp is high ahead of the double-header with the Croatians - GB's first matches in Scotland for 16 years.

The GB women's team are still searching for a win in the European League after losing 3-0 twice to Romania in Constanta.

The teams face up again at Meadowbank this weekend.
