Two silver medals summarize the brilliant result of the Spanish teams in the European Junior Women's and Sub-Women's Championships, which were held simultaneously with the Junior Men's category which took place at the New Course of San Roque Club, where Spain won the gold medal.

EUROPEAN JUNIOR WOMEN'S TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS
The first silver medal was secured at the Pan Golf Club in Holland, won by the Spanish junior women's team, who lost in a thrilling final against Sweden by 4 to 3.

Spain, European champion in the two previous editions, had been unstoppable both in the preliminary phase and in the quarter-finals and semi-finals – solid victories against Wales (7-0) and France (5-2) – although Sweden showed signs from the beginning of their monopolistic intentions, preventing the team captained by Vicky Pertierra and coached by José Gallardo from performing with the ease of previous days.

Not surprisingly, the Swedish pair Anna Nordqvist and Carolina Westrup – of proven quality – surprised the team formed by Carlota Ciganda and María Hernández, a final 2/1 that made the grand final difficult despite the fact that the Andalusian pair Azahara Muñoz and Belén Mozo returned the partial score with enormous ease (5/3).

In the singles matches, the Swedish players displayed growing potential. Indeed, Madrid native Adriana Zwanck was powerless against the decisive performance of a clear-headed Anna Nordqvist (6/5 in her favor), while Belén Mozo was defeated – in her case with greater resistance – by Karin Kinnerod (2/1).

María Hernández from Navarre gave a breath of life to the Spanish women – a victory on the 17th hole against Mikaela Backstedt – so everything depended on the outcome of the matches played by Carlota Ciganda and Azahara Muñoz, both tied when they reached the 18th hole.

In the double tie-break playoff, the tension reached its peak when Carlota Ciganda beat Py Bengtsson on the first hole, a winning move that could not be repeated by Azahara Muñoz, who lost in extremis to Carolina Westrup.

EUROPEAN UNDER-18 WOMEN'S TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
A similar situation occurred in Denmark at the Women's Under-18 European Championship, where Spain - captained by Mabel Pascual del Pobil and coached by Marta Figueras-Dotti - ended up losing to Germany 3-2. Surprised by the strength of the Germans in the morning foursomes (2-0 in their favor), the Spanish team only needed to win all three individual matches to secure the title.

Anne Urchegi from Gipuzkoa gave Nicola Rossler no chance, taking her out of the field early (4/3), while Araceli Felgueroso from Madrid ended up winning on the 18th hole after a fierce duel with Valerie Sternebeck, leaving everything pending the outcome of the match between Marta Silva from Santiago de Compostela and Pia Halbig from Germany.

The Spanish golfer started by taking the initiative in the match, clearly dominating (4 holes ahead) a little beyond the halfway point, although a series of unfortunate actions and rival successes caused the final result to be unfavorable for her, finally giving up on the last hole.
