We say goodbye to the Girls teams today. They have one more match to decide the destination of the European Girls Teams title and the medals. Going into that final match, Poland is the strong favourite to take the title as they play one of the lower-ranked teams, Latvia, in the final round and have a 9.5 VP lead over Netherlands, who face England. The leader board reads: Poland 200.5, Netherlands 191, Sweden 186, Israel 177.5, and the medallists will come from these four.

The day off did its work for the rest of the field in the Juniors as runaway leaders Norway were pulled back to the chasing group as they lost 9-21 to Germany and 6-24 to Russia before recovering a little ground with a 20-10 win against England. Norway leads with 177 from Netherlands 171.5, Italy 168, Sweden 163.5, Poland 162, Germany 160 and Russia 158.5. There is a gap of 14 VPs to the next team, though it must be remembered that we have still not reached the half-way point of this championship, so all but the bottom few teams still have realistic hopes of a qualifying place if they can put together a strong run of form.
