TODAY: 11-Jun, Day FOUR
Top seeds make their mark
in Mulhouse
After
three days of pool matches, it was the top sixteen seeds who
confirmed their places in the knockout draw which starts today
at the Palais des Sports.
All eight matches saw the top-ranked teams take 2-0 leads to
confirm their places in the quarter-finals, with South Africa
and Germany particularly delighted to reclaim
places in the top eight as they swept past Finland and New
Zealand.
Tomorrow sees the quarter-finals which should provide some close
encounters for the numerous and enthusiastic crown at the Palais
des Sports.
Meanwhile over at Club Espace 3000 the 17-31 playoff draw began
- results only from there we're afraid, on the results page.
