Today's results
Women - Ireland 5 v 10 Slovenia.
Men - Ireland 6 v 3 France and Luxembourg 8 v 9 Ireland.
Remaining games
Women - According to the website, Ireland have still to play Belarus tonight in Game 6, Spain tomorrow in Game 5 and Austria on Saturday in Game 7. Just like the organisers, they seem to have little chance of getting it right and will need to win all three games to qualify.
Men - Ireland are due to play Andorra and Romania tomorrow and Belarus and Iceland on Saturday. With their two wins today, Ireland have a good chance of qualifying in the top four and are currently in third place with 4 wins and 2 losses. The top four teams will play off for the final positions on Sunday with the top two qualifying for the 'B' Championships in November.
Apologies - I'll post the final standings at some stage over the weekend, as my social diary is rather full this weekend. I'm going to a retiral do tomorrow night (mine!), a wedding anniversary dinner tomorrow (mine again!) and the Hibs v QOTS match on Sunday.
