Draw: Under 15 Team Championships – Under 15 Pool D

 

Now it is the turn of the u15 to get their European campaign under way

They have Finland, Spain and Israel in their group

Match 1

Luke Logan v Mika Laakonen

Game 1

Finland to serve

Two shots down Luke forehand side and a super winner 1-0

A very accurate forehand drop and crosscourt from Luke  3-1

Luke is very accurate on his forehand being a left hander the Finn for some reason is playing everything to Luke’s forehand 10-4

The penny has dropped and Mika has changed tack switching the play more to the right side and picking up 3 consecutive points by doing so.

Luke closes out at 11-7

Game 2

Great opening  rally but the Finn reverting to pushing ball to left side 1-0

Crosscourt nick from Luke 3-1

Another nick 5-1

A superb left side drop from the Finn  8-4

All one way traffic now Luke takes game ball 11-4

Game 3

5 shots to Luke’s forehand in first rally ! 1-0

A tight ball gets the Finn to 2-1

Luke has too much in his game for the one dimensional Finn who’s best and most played shot is a backhand drive !

Luke has him covering a lot of court playing a much more varied game

A tight forehand drop from Luke gets  him 8-4

Luke closes the game and match 11-5

Ireland 3 – Finland 0

Oisin Dunne v Sebastian Lilja

Game 1

Oisin has a wicked racquet head speed which I am sure will be employed to good effect against his opponent

First few exchanges all Oisin’s way, forcing errors from his opponent with the intensity of his play. Races to a 7- 0  lead

The Finn gets his first point with a tight forehand drop 7-1 and then normal service is resumed

Super trickle boast gets Oisin to game ball 10-1

Finishes with a tin from the Finn who leaves the court shaking his head! 11-1

Game 2

I can’t see other than a 3-0 score for this match. Oisin is just too accurate with his placings and too powerful

Tight, tight, tight………..

11-1

Game 3

Exhibition stuff!  11-1

No bagel this time!

Ireland 3 – Finland 0

Stephanie Ryan v  Herrietta  Huutka

Game 1

Stephanie’s opponent looks quite light in stature. From the warm up I think Stephanie will be much too powerful

Lots of errors on both sides but Stephanie playing the better squash, but certainly not playing her best squash.

The Finn has very little by way of power but is making a good job of getting the ball back

Stephanie closes at 11-7

Game 2

Stephanie much brighter at the beginning of the second however the Finn sticking to her 5-5

6-5 to Stephanie

7-5

7-6

8-6

9-6

9-7

10-7

11-7

Game 3

Stephanie starting to play solid lengths and moving to a 5 -0

A nice drop,  double bounce and an accurate drive gets the Finn to 5-3

Stephanie takes control again to bring the score to match ball 10-3

Henrietta  returns service into tin

11-3

Matches 3-0

Games 9-0

Points 99-36
