The Polish Junior team has come on strong in the last few days and another three wins yesterday, totalling 66 VPs, leaves them 19.5 VPs clear and needing only to avoid complete disaster in this morning’s last round, where they face England, who are certainly in need of a very big win themselves. The silver medal almost certainly belongs to Italy, who are 18 VPs ahead of third, but the bronze could go to any one of Hungary, Norway, Israel and France, who are covered by just 6.5 VPs.

There are two rounds to go in the Schools Championship, with the title likely to be decided by the final round match-up of Israel and Latvia, though certainly Poland and Norway will also have something to say about that. Yesterday saw all the main contenders struggle, allowing Norway, who scored 60 on the day, to close right up to the leaders. Meanwhile, Sweden slipped a little but could still win a medal with a good last day.
