England U17 & U15s capture 13th
consecutive European Team titles
 England
U17 and U15s lifted their 13th consecutive European Team titles
yesterday after overcoming France and Ireland respectively in Eindhoven.
A clean sweep of victories in the U17 group matches, quarters and semis
saw top seeds England set up a final showdown with third seeds France
for the tenth time in the championship’s history.
England second string Ben Smith, the current National U17 champion,
showed his class in the first rubber against France, overpowering
Baptiste Bouin 11-4, 11-5, 11-6 in 27 minutes to put England in the
driving seat. In the second rubber, top string Sam Todd raced to a
two-game lead before France’s Paul Gonzalez replied to claim the third.
The fourth game was a neck and neck affair before Todd upped the ante to
clinch the fourth and the match 11-2 11-5 7-11 11-9 (41m), and seal
England’s 20th championship title.
In the U15 event, top seeds England breezed through the pool matches to
set up a last eight clash with [10] Scotland. The underdogs raced to a
one match lead before England’s Jonah Bryant and Amelie Haworth
proceeded to claim the second and third matches, and book England a
semi-final berth.
In the semis, a 3-0 victory over hosts the Netherlands saw England set
up a final showdown with six seeds Ireland for the first time in the
championship’s 19-year history.
Second string Yusuf Sheikh mounted a remarkable comeback at two games
down against Ireland’s Dylan Moran to put England ahead in the final.
The underdogs quickly levelled, courtesy of a 3-0 win from Ireland’s
Denis Gileviskiy against Jonah Bryant to force a decider. In the
deciding rubber, England’s Emma Bartley produced squash of the highest
order, powering past Ireland’s Sophie Thomas in just 12 minutes 11-4,
11-4, 11-0 to keep the title in English hands once again.
Commenting on the team’s performance, High Performance Coach Chris Ryder
said: ”It's a fantastic achievement to defend the titles. Ireland and
France were tough opponents and ran us very close at points. Our juniors
showed mental resilience and played proactive squash in tough
conditions.”
