England’s Junior Girls and Cadet Boys will aim to secure top-20 finishes at the European Youth Championships in the Czech Republic today.
Both will finish in the 17th-20th bracket if they beat their opponents today – the girls face Lithuania and the boys are on court against Estonia.
It follows yesterday’s results, when the girls lost their play-off to Sweden but then won their opening second-stage group match against Luxembourg. Mollie Patterson made her first appearance of the event in that 3-0 victory.
Meanwhile, the boys picked up a good win over Belarus as Naphong Boonyaprapa won both his matches and Thomas Rayner also won once as England came from 2-1 down to win 3-2.
The Cadet Girls’ team were beaten by Hungary in their play-off and then lost their opening match in the 17th-24th bracket to Serbia. They face Ireland today and will finish in the 21st-24th bracket.
The Junior Boys won twice, against Latvia and Iceland, and will finish in the 29th-32nd bracket.
