EUROPEAN U15 & U17 Team Champs
 

England Reign In Spain

European U15 & U17 Junior Team Squash Championships, Girona, Spain

 

England Reign In Spain

 

England successfully retained their titles in the European U15 & U17 Junior Team Squash Championships in Spain - beating second seeds Czech Republic 3/0 in the U15 final, and overcoming surprise opponents Scotland 2/0 in the U17 climax of the European Squash Federation event in Girona.

 

Emily Whitlock, the 15-year-old from Cheshire who was in last year's winning U15 squad, led England to success in the U17 final with an 11-9, 11-1, 11-5 win over Scotland's Mhairi Charlton.  Team-mate James Earles, 16, from Hull, clinched the title when he beat Greg Lobban 11-1, 11-7, 12-10 – leaving the final 'dead' rubber un-played.

 

However, reaching the final was a notable achievement for Scotland, the ninth seeds who upset second seeds France and third seeds Wales en-route to the climax – and recorded their best success since 6th place in 2007!

 

Portugal marked their maiden appearance in the event by winning the play-off for 13th place.

 

Top seeds England were equally dominant in the U15 final, which they also reached without dropping a game.  It was 14-year-old Victoria Temple-Murray who led the way with an 11-3, 11-7, 11-5 win over Czech Kristina Alexova.  Team-mate Oliver Holland, the British U15 National champion from Nottinghamshire, put the result beyond the Czech opponents' reach after beating Martin Svec 11-4, 11-4, 12-10.

 

Lancashire's Matthew Sidaway gave England maximum points after an 11-4, 11-6 victory over Jan Ryba.

 

Spain, the 11th seeds, celebrated their best-ever finish event – taking fourth place after losing to third seeds Wales in the third-place play-off.
