Romania held on to defeat Great Britain 71-66 on Monday to clinch first place in the Relegation Round and condemn the Brits to life in Division B.

The Romanians, who also won a close game against Mark Clark's team in Britain on January 10, improved to 5-1 and dropped their opponents to 3-3.

Finland took a giant step towards remaining in Division A by hammering previously unbeaten Romania 87-69 on Friday.

The Finns, who began the EuroBasket Women Relegation Round with back-to-back losses to Great Britain and Romania, have now won three straight games and hope to seal their place in the top flight with a victory in their final clash against winless Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Romania can celebrate retaining their Division A status after beating Bosnia and Herzegovina 78-47 on Tuesday night to claim top spot in the EuroBasket Women Relegation Round.

The win moves Romania to 4-0 and leaves Great Britain and Finland to battle over second place.
