Hosts Egypt Win World University Team Crown

After winning both the men's and women's individual/titles, hosts Egypt also clinched the team crown after brushing aside Great Britain in the final of the 6^th World University Team Squash Championships at the Cairo International Stadium in Cairo. 

Ramy Ashour, the world No4 who became the men's individual world university champion earlier in the week, despatched Scot Alan Clyne 11-8, 11-8, 11-7 in the opening match of the final to put the hosts into the driving seat.

In the second match, Briton Joel Hinds took Tarek Momen to tie-breaks in the first and third games - but the world individual runner-up ultimately proved too strong for the 21-year-old Englishman, beating Hinds 12-10, 11-4, 13-11 to ensure a popular home victory for the hosts.

Malaysia claimed the bronze medal after beating Canada 2-0 in the play-off for third position.

Clyne Comeback Clinches World Final Place For GB

Alan Clyne mounted a sensational comeback in the second match against Malaysia in the semi-finals of the 6^th World University Team Squash Championships to clinch an unexpected place for Great Britain in the final against hosts Egypt at the Cairo International Stadium in Cairo.

Emma Beddoes - a Nottingham University student two days short of her 23rd birthday - beat Malaysian Lim Yoke Wah 11-7, 11-9, 11-7 in the opening match to put GB ahead.

Then Clyne, a 22-year-old Scot from Edinburgh, fought back from two games and match-ball at 6-10 down to beat higher-ranked Malaysian Mohd Nafiizwan Adnan 13-15, 10-12, 13-11, 11-7, 11-2.

The stunning victory ensured the title-holders a second successive place in the final - but squad number three Joel Hinds made it 3/0 by beating Nafiizwan's brother Nafzahizam Adnan 11-3, 8-11, 11-6 in the best-of-three match.

Favourites Egypt brushed aside Canada 3 0 in the other semi to reach the final for the first time.

Top Seeds Into World University Team Semis

The top four seeds claimed their places in the semi-finals of the 6^th World University Team Squash Championships after surviving the qualifying rounds unscathed at the Cairo International Stadium in Cairo.

Favourites and hosts Egypt beat both Australia and Germany 3/0 and will face fourth seeds Canada for a place in the final.

With 3/0 wins over South Africa and Switzerland in Pool B, second seeds Malaysia now line up against title-holders Great Britain in the other semi-final.

Great Britain, the third seeds, earned their semi-final place following victories over USA and Czech Republic in Pool C.
