Win over Austria puts Ireland into Euro finals

While the soccer team’s win in Vienna dominated the headlines, they weren’t the only ones to put one over on Austria, as Ireland won 3-2 in Dublin to qualify for next year’s European Mixed Team Badminton Championship finals.

Thus, Badminton Ireland’s CEO Ronan Rooney can look forward to Lubin, Poland, where they will be tested by powerhouse sides, such as Denmark and Germany.

“Playing against the best sides is going to be a challenge, but I would be shocked if Ireland don’t make it to the quarter-finals.” said Rooney.
