Having been selected for the England Junior team, Ipswich-based Lewis Fletcher (of the Mill Inn Aldeburgh & Meadlands Stowmarket), journeyed last weekend with the rest of his team-mates to Kayl in Luxembourg, for an invitational tournament involving some of Europes best junior triples teams. Arriving on the Friday evening in time for the welcoming meal and get together, play commenced on Saturday, with the knock-out stages and the shooting competition on the Sunday.
Lewis' triple team managed 4 wins from 8 matches and ended up being beaten by the French team who went on to win the C category final.
Matches were timed to 1 hour 10 minutes or the first to 13 points.
Results (in order of play):
v Italy 1 - Lost 0-13
v Belgium - Won 13-9
v Luxembourg - Lost 10-13
v Israel 1 - Won 13-2
v Belgium 1 - Won 7-6
v Germany - Won 12-11
v Switzerland - Lost 9-12
v France - Lost 10-11
Final Position 19th out of 32
One of the highlights of the weekend was the French players desire to exchange shirts with the two English teams, which was done back at the hotel that most of the teams were based at.
