Sun 12th, Finals Day:
Germany take the team title.
Hosts Germany upset the seedings to take the European
U19 team title for the second time in four years as they
beat top seeds and defending champions England in front of a
packed crowd in Germering.
With the boys drawn to play first, as in the previous two
rounds, Raphael Kandra and Rudi Rohrmuller both won in four
games - both pulling away convincingly at the end - to
clinch the title for the hosts - who have reached the
final nine times and now beaten England twice after
first winning the battle in the 2006 climax in Switzerland.
England, finalists in all 26 championships since 1984,
surprisingly did not play their individual champion Anthony
Graham after missing the deadline for team selection and
being forced to play their squad's No1 and No2 listed boys.
Graham was unbeaten in nine matches in his last major junior
championships before turning 19 on Monday.
It was an early start for of the final day of competition
for Ireland, whose 9am 2-1 victory put Hungary in 15th place
while the Irish went on to play again, losing out to Sweden
for 13th place.
The showcourt schedule started with the 3rd/4th playoff, and
it was Wales who grabbed the podium place at the expense of
France. David Haley took the opening match in five, and
Hywel Robinson clinched it for the Welsh against a
tired-looking Lucas Serme.
The biggest 'overachievers' were Scotland, who beat the
Czech Republic to claim fifth place, five better than their
seeding.

Sat 11th,
Day Three:
England & Germany through to the final ...
It all went to seeding in the
quarter-finals, with all four matches settled by the boys'
matches, leaving the girls to play a dead rubber in each
case.
In the semi-finals top seeds England had to rely on
individual champion Sarah-Jane Perry to win the decider
against Wales, while the German boys both won tight matches
against their French opponents to put themselves into
Sunday's final.
So David Campion's England will be aiming for their ninth
title in ten years while the Germans will be hoping for a
repeat of their success three years ago when Barry Dodson
led them to a famous triumph ...

Top seeds clinch top spots as
Swiss & Scots upset the odds ...
The crucial match of pool A saw #1 seeds England
taking on #8 Finland whose team included the #1 seed
from the individual event Henrik Mustonen, who started the
action off against Chris Fuller.
The question on everyone's mind ... could Mustonen repeat
his victory over Fuller in the individual event or would
Fuller gain revenge.
Mustonen started strongly and won the first game 11-2 in 8
minutes. Fuller responded well, winning the next two games
11-8 and 11-6 before Mustonen again powered to an 11-3 win
in the fourth to equal the scores.
Again Mustonen started very strongly taking a 7-1 lead but
Fuller responded with what energy he had left and took a 9-8
lead in two hands. Mustonen, surprisingly still looking
reasonably strong, levelled the score at 9 all and then a
stroke decision gave him match ball - which he duly took
after 54 exciting minutes.
He later explained that protecting the ankle injury he
suffered in the individual event meant he was not forcing
the pace in full and he was able to have some reserves in
hand for the key final game.
So, 1-0 to Finland, but individual champions Anthony Graham
and Sarah Jane Perry comfortably won the remaining two
matches, both 3-0, to secure a 2-1 win for England and a
place at the top of the the quarter-final draw, which starts
tomorrow.
The final match of the pool rounds saw Switzerland
grab a quarter-final place at the expense of Finland with a
2-1 win to guarantee a top eight finish.
Earlier Wales beat pool D rivals Czech Republic
2-1 to secure their place as pool winners.
Scotland secured a surprise quarter-final berth with
victory over Ireland, the Scots taking second place after
yesterday's upset win over the Netherlands. Hosts Germany
avoided the need for countback as they scored their third
straight win, putting the Netherlands into the 9-16
playoffs.
Third seeds France clinched top place in pool C with
a 2-1 win over neighbours Belgium. Individual second
seed Sam Van Brusellen got Belgium off to a good start with
a 3/0 win Antoine Camille Petrucci, but Lucas Serme, the
individual silver-medallist, and Melissa Alves turned the
tie round in favour of the French.

After a rest day on Wednesday it's on to the team
competition for the final three days, with defending
champions England seeded to retain their title.
David Campion is looking to continue his remarkable
record as head coach of England under 19s as he targets a
ninth team success in the last ten years at the European
Championships in Munich.
"As the defending champions and No.1 seeds for the team
event our expectation is to retain the title although
Germany and France will be our main rivals. In a 3 string
match you never can take anything for granted so we will
work hard and fight for every point." |
