EGYPT & ENGLAND TO CONTEST FOURTH SUCCESSIVE WORLD JUNIOR FINAL
Defending champions England and top seeds Egypt will meet in the fourth
successive final of the Men's World Junior Team Squash Championships in
Italy, after the favourites brushed aside an under-strength France 3-0 and
England once again had to dig deep to overcome opponents Pakistan 2-1 in the
other semi-final at the Vico Club in Milan.
With their minds clearly focussed on the later play-off for third place,
seventh seeds France rested top string Gregory Gaultier, runner-up in last
week's world individual final, in their semi-final against Egypt. After
Mahmoud Abdel Kader dismissed France's Luc Ebrard 9-2 9-1 9-6, new world
champion Kareem Darwish easily defeated Cham Laravine 9-1 9-0 9-2 in the top
string encounter to make sure of Egypt's place in the climax. Maximum
points
were assured when third string Akram Youssif beat Yves Tastet 9-5 9-1.
Three-times champions England, the No2 seeds, were tested to the limit by
4th
seeds Pakistan. England's opener Phillip Barker twice had to come from
behind before overcoming Farrukh Zaman 7-9 9-5 6-9 9-5 9-1 to put the
title-holders ahead. Yorkshire's 16-year-old British junior champion James
Willstrop then faced Pakistan's junior champion Shahid Zaman, a cousin of
Farrukh - and again the tie went the full distance before Willstrop, an
individual semi-finalist last week, triumphed 3-9 9-4 9-0 3-9 9-3 to seal
the
final place. Pakistan gained a consolation point when Majid Khan beat
Essex's Daryl Selby, who was suffering from a twisted ankle, 9-8 9-0.
In the play-off matches for lower positions, 6th seeds Malaysia beat 5th
seeds Canada 2-1; unseeded USA upset 13th seeds New Zealand 2-1; and
unseeded
Kuwait toppled 15th seeds Hong Kong 3-0.
