Day 8
The final day of qualifying arrived. China were a tough team playing well but fortunately both our pairs played a very tight match - leaving us with a terrific 14-6 win and putting 10VPs of daylight between us and not qualifying.
The final match initially started shakily but the other results were all going our way so there was never too much pressure.
A late rally saw the scores almost level leaving us qualifying in 7th place!!! A magnificent achievement from my team.
Tomorrow the team will face the leaders of the round robin - USA 1, in the quarters finals. Our whole squad is looking forward to the match immensely - particularly as we beat them at the same stage in Chennai 4 years ago.
