Ireland U18 women’s basketball team 'excited' ahead of European Championship clash

Ireland U18 women’s basketballers will face Group C winners Czech Republic tomorrow evening in the round of 16 of the FIBA European Championship in Udine, Italy.

Being the only Irish team to play Division A basketball in history, the girls faced an uphill battle from the outset and finished fourth in their group following losses to Poland, Russia, and a 62-39 loss to France last night.
