Luxembourg – Gibraltar     2-1

  Danny Hutchines – Antony Brindle 11-8  2-11 11-6 7-11 5-11 Daniel Kaiser – Christian Navas 7-11 11-2 11-4 8-11 11-8 Stephane Ayache – Mark Tewkesbury 11-2 11-9 11-8   The first match of the event was against Gibraltar, the number 2 seeds.

After losing the first set, Daniel started playing good squash, and his opponent became nervous, and started to make mistakes: Daniel won the 2nd and 3rd.  But in the fourth it was Daniel who made the mistakes, and so the fifth set was decisive: Daniel never lost control, and despite some strange calls at the end of the set, he won it 11-8. So, Stéphane’s game had to bring the decision. Stéphane won the first set convincingly, but his opponent struggled back and the second set was quite disputed, and finished with the score 11-9 for us. The third was also won by Stéphane, which meant that be beat Gibraltar 2-1
