Denmark v Israel – Round 7 Juniors

2
Italy v Norway – Round 8 Juniors 3

The Netherlands won the second European Girls Teams Championship, with Sweden taking the silver medal and defending champions, Austria the bronze. This was a tremendous performance from the Dutch team, in particular because they had to pick themselves up after their 4-25 defeat to Austria in Round 1 of the tournament. Congratulations to Rosalien Barendregt, Astrid Dekker, Marion Michielsen, Claudia van der Salm, Marleen van Gelder, Meike Wortel, npc Monique van de Sande, and coach Martine Verbeek.

Meanwhile, Italy lead the Juniors, despite a loss to Norway on vugraph – that result was sandwiched between two maximum 25s for the host nation, who are on 185.5 VPs. England are second on 181, followed by France 171, Norway 168, Poland 164, Sweden and Netherlands 161, after which there is a gap of 15.5 VPs to eighth-placed Hungary. Sweden had a great day, scoring 71 out of 75 VPs, while Norway’s three wins earned 60 VPs and included matches against Italy and France. Turkey were the best of the rest, with three wins including against Netherlands and Poland.
