Under 13s Round 5: England 14 – 6 France | Ireland 6 – 17 Scotland
Under 15s Round 5: England 19 – 3 France | Ireland 7 – 16 Scotland
Sunday at the Five Nations did not disappoint as a heavyweight clash between England and France lived up to the hype, with the U13s tie coming down to the last match, and England winning 3-2 overall, with a points total of 14-6. England also took control in the Under 15s, and despite a standout match between Ismail Khalil (ENG) and Amir Khaled (FRA) ending 2-3, an overall score of 19-3 saw England crowned champions of the U15 category as well.
It was a day to remember for our young Scots too, who battled it out with Ireland in two key matches to secure the bronze medals. Both age categories finished 3-2 in favour of Scotland after some highly competitive games. Proud moments and big smiles for the home team at the presentation ceremony!
Scottish Squash would like to thank all the teams, parents and coaches for a fantastic weekend, and congratulate all players on representing their countries while showcasing a superb standard of junior squash.

Another full day at the Five Nations has left England and France poised at the top of the standings in both age categories, with the fantastic prospect of a showdown tie between the two on the cards for Sunday morning. The noise volume at ESC certainly went up a level as the competition ramped up on Saturday, and after lunch the tie of the day was no doubt a series of back and forth matches between Wales and Ireland; Wales winning the U13s 17 – 8 before Ireland hit back in the U15s 19 – 8, numerous five game matches and great noise from the spectators! Despite losses to a quality (and loud!) French team, Scotland remain hopeful for the bronze medals, with it all to play for in both age groups on Sunday morning vs Ireland, as Wales take round 5 off. A great final day in store! View the full scoring after day two here.

An exciting first day of action at ESC saw Scotland battle back in round 2 and earn valuable points in the standings with victories over Wales at both ages, including a hard-fought 14- 8 win in the Under 15s match. It was a strong opening day for England, who lead the standings with maximum points gained after two rounds and some superb squash on display. France also earned impressive wins in round 1, and will be looking to build on their success over the weekend after having round 2 off.
