(Aachen, Germany) - Germany secured a back-to-back double of wins in the 2008 Samsung Super League with FEI series when coming out on top in a tough battle in Aachen tonight.
Fresh from their triumph in Rotterdam two weeks ago the home team was highly impressive in the opening round, but as the second half evolved it seemed very possible that they could be forced into a jump-off with the eventual runners-up from The Netherlands as the game of cat-and-mouse that is regularly played between these two sides in recent times looks set to continue.

(Switzerland) - The Netherlands won through in style at the third leg of the 2008 Samsung Super League with FEI in St Gallen, Switzerland this afternoon with a superior show of strength and a lot of class. They took control in the first round with three clear performances and proved unshakeable, while the Swiss and German teams rallied brilliantly to finish joint-second ahead of the USA in fourth. The British slotted into fifth ahead of Belgium in sixth but it was a disappointing day for the Irish who had to settle for second-last place while, for the third consecutive time, Sweden finished bottom of the order. It is not looking at all good for the Scandinavian side who are trailing the leaderboard a full eight points behind the Irish, and almost 15 points behind the leading Dutch going into the half-way stage at Rotterdam in three weeks' time.
