The first leg last weekend in Madrid the return leg on the 27th March.
A tough team sheet for both teams here as both teams although strong contain several foreigners from the UK, China, Indonesia, Singapore, and only a maximum of 3 of the 7 ties in the team match can be played with the foreigners, so a lot of time spent pre-match attempting to second guess how the other team might play their combination and trying to steal an edge from the start with your own line up.

The new logo for Glasgow’s Commonwealth Games even in 2014 has been revealed by the Commonwealth Games organisers.
The logo, which features red, yellow, blue and green parts of a circle around a letter G, was revealed at the city’s Clyde Auditorium - which will be the host of the games’ weightlifting competition.
