Hosts Austria on fire at Men’s 18 EHF Championship

DAY 1 & 2 REVIEW: Perfect records for the Dutch, Czechs, Austrians and Montenegrins after two days of action in Tulln


Hosts Austria on fire at Men’s 18 EHF Championship

The opening two days of the Men’s 18 EHF Championship event in Tulln, Austria, have already seen a bunch of teams emerge as genuine contenders for the title.

Montenegro lead Group A after two contrasting victories. They were pushed in the second half by Great Britain in a 25:20 win, before a 49:8 win over Ireland, who have a majority of players still one age group younger than 18 and have been given a rough welcome to this level of competition.

Czech Republic have also been in flying form, backing a solid opening win against Ukraine with a 33:12 triumph over Great Britain.

In Group B, hosts Austria have run riot with two victories by a combined margin of 50 goals.

Bulgaria and Latvia could do little to cause Austria harm, but Monday’s clash against Netherlands could be a different scenario, as the Dutch have recorded two victories of their own, over Bulgaria and Kosovo
