Probe into basketball defeats

THE divisioning in basketball was being reviewed last night following big defeats for Ireland’s two women’s teams at the Loughlinstown Arena yesterday.

Ireland (1) lost by double scores to Argentina, 48-24 in their opening game of the Special Olympics World Games tournament while the Ireland (2) team suffered an even greater drubbing when they went under 42-10 to Pakistan.

“There is a meeting to discuss the matter,” Head Coach Anne Marie Whelan confirmed. “Hopefully they will make some kind of changes but if they do not then we’ll just take on the chin and work around it.”
