Women: Finland 19 - 15 GB Juniors: Sweden 19 - 15 Finland Open: Finland 19 - 15 Sweden So the results that I remember. Women: 1. Finland 2. GB (Spirit) Juniors: 1. Sweden 2. Finland 3. GB (Spirit) 4. Germany 5. Switzerland Open: 1. Finland 2. Sweden 3. Germany 4. GB (Spirit) 5. Switzerland So GB managed a clean sweep of the spirit awards. There was also Charlie's special award for helping him organise the tournament (getting in rosters etc on time), which went to Switzerland. Of particular note: GB Women were impressive in the final, but not quite enough to win. The Finnish Open team were clearly better than the Swedes and had the support of the crowd as they struggled against numerous Swedish calls. Sweden not all conquering anymore, and seemed to have upset a number of people that week with their 'special calls'. -- Neil Travers - home <neil@dreamer.demon.co.uk> Fluid Druids, UK http://www.dreamer.demon.co.uk/
