Defending men’s champions Bosnia and Herzegovina eased into the quarter-finals of the men’s World Sitting Volleyball Championships in Eindhoven.

With two victories to their credit, the Bosnian team were hoping to seal top spot in Pool D against Poland.

An impressive display saw the holders emerge as comfortable 25-12, 25-9, 25-20 winners to head into the last eight on a high.

The result left Poland at risk of missing out on a quarter-final spot, with Egypt having the opportunity to move second in the standings should they beat Iraq, which they duly did with 23-25, 25-21, 25-18, 26-24 triumph allowing them to advance as runners-up.

Ukraine secured their spot in the quarter-finals by beating Croatia 25-20, 25-14, 21-25, 25-14 in Pool C.

The result saw Croatia finish bottom of the Pool C standings having lost each of their three matches.
