The first two days weren't full of too many surprises. The problem
with reporting is that I only ever see half of the teams. The 1-4
pitches are near HQ while the 5-8 pitches are in a different place and
teams do not cross over midday. Today U20 was on 1-4 all day.
U20 boys
GB 1 look hot. The pull play worked a treat against the Swedes and GB
finished them off something like 13-7 today. Statto gave them 'the
talk' before the game about the history of this match up and it showed
in the game. Previously however, Finland had beaten the Swedes as
well in sudden death 13-12 or 12-11. Either way it was close. When
GB met Finland at the end of the afternoon all eyes were watching.
With Germany having already showed it's cards and that in spite of the
fantastic hair styles there weren't the Germany of 2007, GB was now
looking good and Finland had taken Germany's place as the next real
threat. GB started slow against Finland going down 3 points early and
spent the rest of the game clawing this back until 11-11 with GB
receiving. It was unfortunate drops and rushed choices that let them
down and they lost 13-11. It'll give them a tougher journey back to
the final but will likely mean a rematch for the gold.
U17 boys
Yesterday GB looking surprisingly good. The real troublemaker was the
U17 Germans. Not much depth but the stars of that team could have
played on the U20s and made them more competitive. GB I think gave
them the tightest score so far.
The 2nds in both areas are playing well and not losing games as much
as you'd think. Quite a few players on the 2nds could have fit in on
the 1sts but obviously nobody on the 1sts looked like 2nds so I
imagine the person who made the tough choices struggled with the
decision.
U20 Girls and U17
Yesterday we saw some of this but today nothing at all. I saw a good
deal of crutches though and heard about many hospital visit and the
resulting shortage of coaching staff because of the need to accompany
injured players. Aussie is probably better positioned to report on
them as Linz has been helping out. The few games we saw yesterday
were quite good. The memorable one was U17 beating Sweden.
All for now. It's 3am here and I'm just back from being taken out for
my birthday to a german(austrian) schlager party. It was hell on
earth and fantastic all at once. I felt like being part of a Louis
Theroux weird weekend. They did play Falco's Vienna Calling and we
tore up the dance floor. That has to be one of those 'to-do before
you die' moments while in Vienna.

Hey BD,
So far not many of the results appear to have gone up on the site but what
we do know is that:
GB Junior Women beat Belgium 13:9 but the Junior Women's second team was
beaten 15:2 by Austria.
The U17 Open Juniors beat Netherlands 15:3.
& the U17 women beat the second team 15:1, the big result so far is that
they beat the Sweden in the show game. That's a text update from Linz so I
don't know what the score was but apparently both sidelines were massive
and
it made quite a game.
More updates to follow. Still wishing all the Juniors the best of luck.

Hey BD,
This week, over 150 juniors from the UK are travelling to Vienna for
the 2009 European Youth Ultimate Championships.
The tournament is bigger than ever before, with 35 teams competing
from 15 countries.
GB are sending 2 teams to each of the U20 open and womens divisions
and the U17 womens division, with a seventh team playing in the U17
open, and are seeded either first or second in each division.
For more information, the tournament website can be found by following
the link below, and I'll send out regular updates over the course of
the week to keep everyone up to date.
