Top seeds in driving seat
Jul 24, 2006
The top four seeds dominated play in the teams competition of the World Junior Men's Squash Championships in Palmerston North today with Egypt, Pakistan, England and Malaysia all comfortably winning their matches in day two of pool play.
India and Canada were also dominant in pool play and will match up against Pakistan and Malaysia in their final respective pool matches tomorrow.
New Zealand went down again today 3-0 to Malaysia but will be hoping for a strong performance against Australia tomorrow. Australia who are seeded one place above New Zealand at 12th are favourites for the match but a large home crowd could swing it the Kiwis way.
