So with one match remaining in phase one - which will be played later in the day due to the late arrival of one of the German team, the leaderboard looks a lot like this:-

Country	P1	P2	P3	P4	P5	Overall
Portugal	16	0	0	0	0	16
Italy	12	0	0	0	0	12
Belgium	12	0	0	0	0	12
Ireland	12	0	0	0	0	12
Scotland	8	0	0	0	0	8
Wales	8	0	0	0	0	8
Spain	4	0	0	0	0	4
France	4	0	0	0	0	4
England	0	0	0	0	0	0
Germany	0	0	0	0	0	0

                                                                  

Portugal go top with a faultless early round, while England and Germany sit at the foot of the table.  Of course, it"s early days - but a great start for Bruno Rilho and his team.

Players are back and we"ll get the STTs under way shortly.

Looks like England"s not having the best run.

It appears that Liam Crawford  is our first exit having been taken out by Spain"s Alberto Herranz
