England suffered a heart-breaking 3-2 loss to miss out on the knockout stages of 2024 European Junior Team Championships.
The team ended the tournament in Ibiza with two wins in Group 6 but an opening defeat to the Netherlands was enough to deny them top spot and with it a place in the last eight.
Jia Bin Lee and Lucy Dodd had battled to get the team off to the best possible start against the Netherlands with a comeback win in the mixed doubles before James Song followed suit in straight games in the men’s singles.
Rajvi Parab was then on the wrong side of a decider in the women’s singles before Lee and Benjamin Horseman lost out 22-20 in the second game of their men’s doubles clash against Casper Spaans and Joep Strooper.
