With a record entry of 32 Irish entries in the Nordic Junior Open which took place in Malmo there was some notable success gained. There was 4 semi finalists and 3 finalists. Hannah Craig came 3rd in the Under 17’s beating Emma Fitzsimmons from Scotland 3-0.

In the Under 13’s final Denis Gilevskiy won a dramatic match vs Luis Grubel from Germany, 3-2. Denis was 2-0 down and looked to be gone but showing great maturity he stormed back to take the title. Jack O’Flynn lost the Under 11’s final, 3-1, having beaten a tough Egyptian in the semi final earlier in the day, draining his energy reserves.
Conor Moran had a super battle in the Under 15’s vs Europe No. 1 Victor Byrtus from Czech. Conor had 3 match balls but couldn’t convert them to lose 3-2. Just the bounce of a ball in it.21884473309_9b6d24a978_z
