Belfast delight home faithful as Paderborn retain men's title

It was the ending that all of the home crowd wanted as Madeline Perry and Senga Macfie both won 3/1 to give Belfast Boat Club an unassailable lead over defending champions Edgbaston Priory.

The men's final was an all-German affair, but after defending champions Paderborn had taken a 2-1 lead, Worms' Marcus Berrett knew that he needed to beat Peter Nicol to take the final down to points countback.

Berrett squeezed home in the first 14/12, but when Nicol struck back to take the second Paderborn had done enough and the party could begin.

Quarter/Semi Results

Complete results:   Men's Women's

Both reigning European Club champions are just one match away from defending their titles after a dramatic day in Belfast, which saw a tense late-night finish in the men's semi-finals.

After the morning quarter-finals (just two matches as the top seeds in both draws had byes into the semis) it was down to the semis with in the women's event top seeds Meersquash taking on Belfast's own Boat Club.

After Natalie Grinham for Meersquash and Zoe Barr for Belfast had made it one-all, it came down to a deciding tie in which Senga Macfie beat Orla Noom to clinch a popular home victory.

Defending champions Edgbaston made sure it was an all-GB final as they beat second seeds Mulhouse 3/0.



In the men's event defending champions Paderborn faces their predecessors and top seeds Aberdeen.

Unfortunately we don't know what order the matches were played in, but Paderborn went through thanks to a 12/10 in the fifth win for Borja Golan over Daryl Selby, followed by wins for Simon Rosner and Tm Garner.

The other semi-final went the full distance with Worms making it an all-German final as they beat Valence on points countback. Results below ...
