Germany Wins Historic European Junior Double
A major shift in the balance of power in European junior squash took place in Israel at the weekend when Germany clinched both titles in the European Junior U15/U17 Team Championships at the Towers Squash Club in Tel Aviv.

Germany now boasts all but one of the European Squash Federation junior individual and team titles – while England, for the first time ever, no longer hold a single one of the established titles!

England, holders of the U17 crown since the inaugural event in 1999, were seeded to retain the title for an eighth year and reached the last four without dropping a single game. But the favourites met their match in the semi-finals against third seeds Switzerland, losing 2/1 to be denied a place in the final for the first time.

The defending champions looked in control as Neil Cordell beat Switzerland's Fabian Signer 9-0, 9-0, 9-1, and British U17 champion Joe Lee built up a two-game lead against Nicolas Mueller. But Mueller, the Swiss Junior Open champion, fought back to win 7-9, 6-9, 9-3, 9-0, 9-7 and team-mate Jasmin Ballman then battled for five games to defeat England's Victoria Bell 10-9, 9-2, 2-9, 4-9, 9-7 to pull off the shock upset.

After a comfortable 2/1 win over France in the other semi-final, second seeds Germany went ahead in the final when Florian Silbernagl beat Switzerland's Fabian Signer 9-2, 9-2, 9-2. But Nicolas Mueller again showed his prowess to defeat Germany's Norman Junge 9-3, 9-2, 9-7 to level the tie. However, Sina Wall extended her unbeaten run in Tel Aviv to claim a 9-6, 9-4, 9-3 win over Swiss star Jasmin Ballman to clinch victory for Germany.

Title-holders England and second seeds Germany met for the second year running in the U15 final England beating Czech Republic 3/0 and Germany overcoming France 2/1 in the semi-finals.

Ken Gibson put Germany into the lead with a 9-6, 9-7, 10-8 victory over Charles Sharpes before Rudi Rohrmueller avenged last year's final defeat by by beating James Earles 9-2, 9-2, 9-0. There was small consolation for England in the third rubber when Kimberley Hay beat Nina Schuttkowski 9-1, 9-1
