Have we kept the same team of Daniela, Edie and Annabel?
Id forgotten the under 12 boys actually lost in qualification, got back in as host nation and went on to win it. Good effort and showed they learnt as the event progressed

They are still the nominated trio for the under 16 finals which start tomorrow - no draw available yet
The under 14 girls came through a close encounter with Turkiye to join the three other seeded nations, who all won comfortably. They play Czechia in the semis

Grace Watson lost to Samiye Idil Ozkeresteci 2-6 1-6
Liv Zingg d. Zeliha Nil Cukurluoglu 6-2 6-2
Watson/Zingg d. Ilhan/Ozkeresteci 4-6 6-1 [10-5]
The under 14 girls clearly battled against the hosts and second seeds, but just failed to win one of the singles. They will therefore play-off tomorrow for bronze. Czechia go on to face top seeds Ukraine

Milica Sakamoto Milojevic lost to Eva Halfarova 6-4 6-7(0) 5-7
Liv Zingg lost to Sofie Mottlova 3-6 6-7(9)
The under 16 girls were unlucky with the draw. Like the under 14s they were pitted against ostensibly the strongest unseeded nation, who included the highest ranked ITF player in the finals (Anna Pircher, who caused our under 14 team a lot of problems last year). Two narrow defeats in the singles mean they will be playing for the minor places
