Disappointment for All Canadians
Earlier today, our men’s team of Fenton-Schachter had a disappointing performance against a strong Austrian team of Eglseer-Koraimann losing 21-16-21-12. The temperatures soared to 30 degrees C, hot and sunny for The Hague, which is usually tempered by winds from the North Sea. The boys faded quickly in a 20 minute match. They look to do better tomorrow against the team from Mexico.
Canada’s women of Faaca-Whittaker lost an exciting and closely contested match against the second qualifying Russian women’s team. After winning a no unforced-error first game 21-15, they preceded to lose a heart-breaker 20-22. The Russians prevailed in the third after the Canadian’s fought back only to lose 11-15. They face the Russian’s number one team tomorrow and because of their steadfast effort have an excellent chance of moving through to the next round.
