Poland recovered from their opening game defeat to Belgium to finish top of the pile in a warm-up event they hosted for the U20 European Championship over the weekend.

Giedrius Staniulis was in fine form for Lithuania but could not avoid the loss against Poland

The Poles beat Lithuania 95-86 in the final game in Ostrowie Wielkopolski after getting 20 points from Sebastian Szymanski.

Giedrius Staniulis scored 14 points for the Lithuanians.

Norway finished third by defeating Belgium, 76-70.

Poland got off on the wrong foot in their opening game, falling hard to Belgium, 99-80.

The Belgians failed to build on that big win, however, losing 104-80 next time out against Lithuania.

The Norwegians, whose other results included a 62-52 defeat to Lithuania and a 54-52 setback to Poland, will have another three games coming up from July 2-4 when they take on Denmark, Great Britain and Sweden in Nyborg.

Lithuania are the only country playing in the U20 European Championship Division A in Croatia, while Poland, Belgium and Norway will take part in the Division B event in Austria.
