Finland, Norway to bowl top seeded Swedish teams in semifinals on Tuesday afternoon

The 25th European Youth Championships got underway on Monday at Lovvang Bowling Center in Aalborg, Denmark, with the six-game preliminaries of the Boys Doubles competition. Swedes Jesper Svensson/Filip Wilhelmsson and Emil Nilsson/Pontus Andersson earned the No. 1 and No. 2 seed for the playoffs on Tuesday afternoon starting at 5.30 p.m. CET.

Svensson/Wilhelmsson averaged 215.17 for six games including six team games between 408 and 450 to lead the field of 48 doubles with 2582 pinfall. Wilhelmsson led the way with 1304 and Svensson added 1278.

Nilsson and Andersson used the highest game (512) and the highest three-series (1412) in the last three games to jump into second place with 2518 en route to avoid a clash with their teammates in the semis.
