Great Britain have never won a medal at a major tournament

Great Britain's wheelchair rugby team have finished fifth at the World Championships after beating hosts Denmark 52-48 in Odense.

GB had qualified for the play-off with a 55-45 win over New Zealand on Saturday.

The Danes were leading 15-14 at the end of the first quarter, but GB overturned the lead to take a hard-fought contest.
