Egypt win it at the death
 Egypt
claimed their second World Junior Team Championship in a dramatic
final against Pakistan in Palmerston North.
Double individual champion Ramy Ashour put Egypt ahead, Farhan
Mehboob levelled for Pakistan to set up a dramatic decider which
Omar Mosaad took 10-8 in the fifth.
The first match between Ashour and Khan went to four games, in a
tight battle which ended somewhat controversially when Irish referee
Jack Allen called Khan for time-wasting with the score at 9-8,
handing the match to Ashour. Khan was suffering from cramp from the
point before and requested time to recover, this was denied by the
official.
The second match between Tarek Momen and Farhan Mehboob was a
see-saw battle between two evenly matched players. The advantage
swung back and forth several times during the match which eventually
saw Mehboob wear down his opponent to win.
 Now
with the tie level it was up to Yasir Butt and Omar Mosaad to decide
the match and the world champions. Butt gave his all, however it
wasn’t quite enough to defeat the in-form Mosaad in a match that
went the full five games, with the Egyptian taking the final game
10-8.
Egyptian coach Aamir Wagih thanked Allah immediately after the final
as emotions overflowed following the winning point.
Omar Mosaad, accepting the trophy on behalf of the Egypt team
thanked his coach and team-mates for their support and the people of
Palmerston North for their welcoming hospitality over the last two
weeks.
Malaysia crowned a sensational two weeks in New Zealand by
beating four-times champions England in the play-off for third
place. Originally seeded seventh in the event, the Malaysian squad
were elevated to fourth seeds after their showing in the individual
event – then battled to a surprise 2/1 win over the third seeds.
With a previous best finish of sixth in 13 appearances in the event
since 1982, their bronze medal victory in Palmerston North was a
notable triumph for the young team.
Germany, led by European Junior Champion Simon Rosner, beat
seventh seeds India 2/0 in the play-off for fifth place to equal
their previous best-ever finish in 1988. Ninth seeds and surprise
quarter-finalists Hong Kong beat fifth seeds Canada in the
play-off for seventh place – to celebrate their first top ten finish
in 11 appearances in the event since 1982.

Top Two in Team Final
Egypt and Pakistan will square off in the final of the teams event
at the World Junior Men's Squash Championships in Palmerston
North. The top two seeds are safely through to the title decider,
after comprehensive victories in the semis.
Egypt hammered third seeded England 3-0, with individual champion
Ramy Ashour setting the standard, crushing Tom Pashley 9/4 9/0
9/2.
Pakistan also won 3-0 against fourth seeded Malaysia, with all
three matches won in straight games. Malaysian number one Elvinn
Keo came close to taking a game off Aamir Atlas Khan, but was
ultimately beaten 9/4 10/8 9/1.
Meanwhile, India and Germany will do battle in the playoff for 5th
place after contrasting wins today. India squeezed past Canada
2-1, with Harinder Pal Sidhu scoring the crucial victory in a five
game marathon against David Letourneau.
Germany made much lighter work of its clash against Hong Kong,
strolling to a 3-0 victory.
The Netherlands is the only unbeaten team after two rounds of the
9th to 12th playoffs. The Dutch beat Switzerland 2-1, having
already accounted for Australia 3-0 yesterday.
The Aussies bounced back from the first up defeat to beat South
Africa 2-1, leaving both teams with one victory.
In the 13th to 18th playoffs, USA and Ireland are headed towards a
top of the table showdown, with both having won four from four so
far.
New Zealand picked up its second victory with a 3-nil win over
Finland while Japan also has two wins. Finland and Zimbabwe look
set to contest the wooden spoon with neither having won a tie at
this stage.

25-Jul, Day Three:
Hong Kong Secure World Junior Team Championship Quarter-Final Slot
Hong Kong produced a notable upset in today's (Tuesday) final
qualifying rounds of the Prince Men's World Junior Team Squash
Championship to claim an unexpected place in the quarter-finals in
Palmerston North, New Zealand.
The ninth seeds beat Pool A rivals Netherlands, the No8 seeds - Max
Lee of Hong Kong fighting back from two games down in the pivotal
match against Dutchman Tom Hoevenaars to secure the tie 2/1. Hong
Kong's reward is a quarter-final clash with Malaysia, the fourth
seeds who finished at the top of Pool D after dismissing fifth seeds
Canada 2/1.
Meanwhile top seeds Egypt, second seeds Pakistan, and third seeds
England joined Malaysia by winning their respective pools – and will
join pools runners-up India, Canada, Germany and Hong Kong in the
last eight.
Hosts New Zealand had pulses running hot earlier in the day when it
looked like they might topple their higher-seeded rivals Australia.
New Zealand’s No1 Evan Williams defeated Australia’s Nathan
Stevenson in four games to begin the tie but Australia rallied and
took the final two matches to clinch the tie.

24-Jul, Day Two:
Top seeds in driving seat
 The
top four seeds dominated play in the teams competition of the World
Junior Men’s Squash Championships in Palmerston North, New Zealand
today with Egypt and Pakistan both winning two matches by 3/0 today
while England and Malaysia both won 2/1 to clinch their places in
the last eight.
In pool D Canada recorded a second win to guarantee themselves a
place in the last eight, and meet Malaysia tomorrow to decide the
group winners. With the teams in the 4-12 bracket all very closely
matched, there are some crucial matches tomorrow as the teams strive
to reach the quarter-finals, notably India v South Africa,
Netherlands v Hong Kong and Germany v Switzerland.
Hosts New Zealand went down again today 3-0 to Canada but will be
hoping for a strong performance against Australia tomorrow.
Australia came closest to providing an upset on day two, falling
just short of toppling the fourth seeded Malaysians. The Aussies can
count themselves unlucky after Matt Reece lost the crucial match of
the tie in a 97 minute, five game marathon against Muhd Asyraf Azan.

23-Jul:
Teams champs underway
Round one of Pool play in
the Teams Championship began today. The match of the day was
undoubtedly the 5 set thriller between Nathan Stevenson of
Australia and David Letourneau of Canada, won by by Stevenson
9-3 9-5 4-9 8-10 9-1. Canada however, went on to defeat
Australia in the tie 2-1.
Hot on the heals of yesterday’s individual final, the teams
competition is a opportunity for a little national pride to come
into play, as teams work together to make the quarter finals.
Unlike the individual championship there will be 8 nations
represented in the quarters, which will provide an opportunity
for supporters to get out and cheer for their country.
Pool play will continue Tuesday with the teams final on Friday
28th at Arena Manawatu.
