The Australian Seniors team was well beaten by Sweden in the quarterfinals.

Congratulations to Terry Brown, Peter Buchen, Pauline Gumby, Avi Kanetkar, Warren Lazer, and Bruce Neill on a great performance.

Having followed on from Australia's semifinal performance last year with a different makeup of players, it confirms that Australia is a force in international competition at the senior level.

 

Meanwhile New Zealand did it again, trailing Netherlands throughout, but winning the 6th session 46-14, to move into the semifinals.

The team includes Ashley Bach and Mike Cornell, who won the WBF pairs last year in Wroclaw.

 

The Transnationals have also started with 106 team, eight to qualify for the KO stage. There are six teams with Australians in them. The best placed after the first day is Thompson lying 27th, about 9vps from 8th.
