3/4 place : Chinese Taipei - Czech Republic 15 - 21 (9-13)

L ike the previous match, both sides started nervously in the battle for bronze, with intense effort, but chances missed from all angles. Accurate shooting from distance by the Asian champions drew the Czechs out to defend away from the post, enabling the Taipei players to make their chances from running in shots and free passes. Although the Czech Republic controlled the ball in their attack for much longer, a failure to convert this supremacy into goals saw Chinese Taipei ahead at half time. In the second half the Czech stepped up their intensity in control of the rebound and better organised their attack to shoot from clear chances with less traffic under the korf. With a marked height advantage and through greater shooting frequency the score began to climb in favour of the team in red and blue. With two stanzas of four goals in row, by the end of the third quarter it was clear the Czechs would cement their claim to  third place in world korfball, which duly eventuated despite some effective distance shots in the last five minutes by Chinese-Taipei and an impressive nine goal haul for Sheng-Chieh Chan.

5/6 place: Great Britain - Portugal 18 - 17 (6-8)

With both teams playing their seventh game of the tournament and World Games qualification riding on the result, the first ten minutes were riddled with mistakes and too full of adrenalin for either to construct a goal. Eventually a fluid long shot from British captain Rob Williams broke the deadlock. The teams traded goal for goal for most of the rest of the half, but the continuing tension was highlighted by the handful of times Corinne Buckland ran past the normally solid defence of Isabel Teixeira, only for the resulting shot to fall to ground. Portugal went to the break two goals up after sharp work by Filipe Cardoso to convert first a loose opportunity under the basket and then a penalty. The two evenly matched rivals continued to trade goals in the second half with Portugal maintaining their two goal advantage until the 50th minute, when Corinne Buckland found her range and put away a pair to even it up. A smart piece of improvisation from Williams, when he looked to have over-run the basket for a running in shot, took Britain into a lead which they extended to two through the Bucklands. With the clock ticking, Britain held the bulk of possession thanks to strong rebounding from Williams and Dave Synott, before a polished long shot from Karen Sparrow effectively put the game out of reach with less than 60 seconds left. The desperate Portuguese managed two more strikes but the clock beat them, booking Great Britain a place in the Duisburg World Games in July 2005.

 7/8 place : Australia - Germany 14 -13  (6-6)

 The play off for the 7th and 8th places proved to be a fight right to the last seconds of the game. In the first half the Germans lead by small margins, but couldn't shake off the persistent Aussies who fought back each time they looked like falling behind again. This was mainly due to the fantastic game played by Jessica May who finished the game with 6 goals and 2 penalty chances for her team. Kelly Bailey playing a strong team game and proving that she too will be a player of the future was ably supporting her. At half time scores were level and so it continued throughout the second half with neither side gaining ascendancy. One division for the Aussies was doing all of the scoring and this made it difficult for the Germans to surge ahead at any time in this half. In the final minute s the German team were leading by one goal and could have won the match with controlled play. However the Aussies did not give up and they scored twice in the last 2 minutes to snatch the victory from their opponents in the dying stages of the game.
