While the players in Team Ireland will be disappointed that they lost out to Spain, a team with whom they have been nip and tuck with for many seasons, they will find a lot of comfort from their Top 6 finish made possible by earlier wins in this competition against two other “bogey” sided, namely England Women and Russia Women.

Ireland Women played four matches winning two and losing two but it must be pointed out in this groundbreaking performance that the won the right matches. In particular, their first round win against England guaranteed them a successful tournament the subsequent win against Russia adding icing to the cake.

The Ireland Women’s results are shown below.
