The pools have been decided for the Women’s World Junior Team Championship. Unsurprisingly Egypt, winners for the last five editions – are top seeds, with Malaysia seeded to meet them in the final, which would break a sequence of three Egypt v USA finals.
Ireland have drawn Hong Kong, USA and Korea. The team event starts on Tuesday 25th July. Remember New Zealand is 11 hours ahead of Irish time.

Ireland played the USA in their first match. The USA are 5th seeds, so a tough match for Ireland which they lost 3-0. It was a special day for Laura Neill, as it was her 1st Junior cap for Ireland. Congratulations Laura.
