Go Team Ireland!

Just need to follow-up on my previous post now that the games are over and done. The Irish lads put on a great showing, with some very tough games had, finishing 6th out of 18 countries, with the ladies winning their division ending 4th out of 10! Big congrats to both teams, especially to my DubLax boyos. I couldn't be more proud, and really wish I could have been there witcha.

"But wait," I hear you say, "this post is useless without pics!!". Well, I have no pics, but I have links to pics!!

Euros 2008

Just a quick note that Ireland is kicking butt at the European Championships in Finland at this very moment. Forget about the Olympics, this here's the real show!

Round Robin Results for Group A from the first round:

TEAM GP PTS GF GA
1. England 5 10 130 11
2. Ireland 5 8 58 36
3. Wales 5 6 77 31
4. Latvia 5 4 34 73
5. Spain 5 2 27 81
6. Swiss 5 0 9 103

With just one loss to England, and dominant play against all other teams in their group, the Irish are looking brilliant. From what I can tell the weather over there is horrible at the moment, which always makes for a fun time..

The ladies take the field this week. They should be pretty strong this year as well.

COME ON IRELAND!!
