Great Britain's footballers secured their place at next year's European Deaf Championships thanks to a 8-0 aggregate win over Sweden.


Leading 5-0 after the home leg, GB gave themselves the perfect start when Lee Farrell netted after 12 minutes

Farrell, the top scorer when GB won Deaflympic gold in Melbourne in 2005, added his second six minutes later.

Oliver Wilcox sealed the win on 40 minutes after latching on to Farrell's through ball.

Sweden looked in vain for a consolation goal, coming close a few times, but they never really threatened GB keeper Mike O'Mahony.

Great Britain: Mike O'Mahony, Chris Beech, Jon Evans (Jan Cresswell 84f), Jason Corbett, Ayad Sarraf, Steven Gardiner, Oliver Monksfield, Ben Lampert, Daniel Hogan, Lee Farrell (Alistair Dalziel 78), Oliver Wilcox (Peter Wood 65).
