ANOTHER second-half concentration lapse cost Great Britain in the Yellow Cup as they slumped to their second straight defeat in Winterthur.

The Brits impressed against Switzerland before losing their way in the second half on Saturday night and followed a similar trend in a 42-24 defeat to African champions Tunisia on Sunday.

British Head coach Dragan Djukic's men have raised a few eyebrows with their performances in Switzerland and were still in the hunt, 21-14 down at half time.

And although Tunisia ran away with the game in the second period, Chris Mohr bagged five goals for the Brits and Djukic insisted the signs were encouraging in Switzerland.

"For the first 45 minutes we were really good and it was a great first half," said Djukic.

"But it was the same as against Switzerland. We competed and concentrated for only some of the match.

"We missed a couple of clear chances and struggled from then on really.

"Some of our players don't play regular handball with clubs and that's one of the big problems we have to address.

"But people have been surprised that a British team can play such good handball so, despite losing, we need to remember these are top teams and at the moment it is an honour for us to be playing against them."

Great Britain will hope to end their stay in Switzerland with a win when they take on Holland on Monday.
