Italy vs Sweden

Casting aside all protests that the match would inevitably be dull, your Editor settled down to watch the key encounter between the two teams who have so far dominated the Open Championship, Sweden & Italy. A big win for either side might go some way to determining who would collect the gold medals.
Meanwhile, Jos Jacobs reports on France v Netherlands.

As the match got under way I noticed that more than 4000 people were on line.
