30th European Club Championships, Paderborn, Germany

DRAW/RESULTS

LIVE STREAMING

Ireland is represented by the All Ireland Club Champions – Sutton, the Women’s title holders and Fitzwilliam the men’s in this year’s event. Fitzwilliam have a seeding of 5th while Sutton’s is 8th. Sutton have Mulhouse of France, Newlands of Scotland, Fricktal of Switzerland & Squash & More Hitgirls from Poland in their group. Fitzwilliam have Sportwerk Hamburg, Squash Fuengirola of Spain & Arelsquash of Luxembourg in their group.

Sutton team: Orla O’Doherty, Niamh Maher, Aoileann Ni Chomhrai

Fitzwilliam Team: Conor O’Hare, Nigel Peyton, Niall Rooney, Rory Byrne, Dara O’Flynn & Gerry Callanan

Headlining the event will be Egyptian star Ali Farag who will represent hosts and defending Champions Paderborn. Ranked number 5 in the World, Farag just edges Mulhouse’s World no.7 Sarah-Jane Perry for top billing.

However, there are host of other squash super stars on show in September. Farag is joined by German favourite and World no.11 Simon Rosnerin the Paderborn side, while his wife and World no.11 Nour El Tayeb heads up the Women’s team from the hosts.

England’s representatives Colets have entered a formidable squad with World no.13 Daryl Selbyspearheading their line up and ex-World no.5 Alex Gough filling the final berth.

Mulhouse will be looking to win the Men’s event for the first time having previously tasted success in the Women’s event. They have pulled together a very solid squad with World no.24 Mathieu Castagnet, Scottish no.1 Alan Clyne and Finnish legend Olli Touminen making then a tough side to get past.

Led by Perry, Mulhouse will be looking at a potential double but with El Tayeb ably backed up by Dutch World no.43 Milou van der Heijdenand top Germans Sina Kandra, Franziska Hennesand Annika Wiese it could be a German double come the end of a competitive week.

However, Edgbaston Priory of England are more than capable of springing an upset with a squad featuring World no.26 Millie Tomlinson, World no.55 Julianne Courtice and Welsh no.1 Deon Saffery.

Elsewhere the World’s hardest hitter Cameron Pilley, the Swiss rocket Nicolas Mueller and exciting Rapha Kandra making this an entertaining event for anyone lucky enough to get a ticket.

Having successfully hosted the 2005 edition and 2011 World Team Championships, it comes as no surprise that fans of the sport have been snapping up the tickets. The all glass court will have seating for 600 spectators, but these have been selling fast with a limited number remaining.
