Ireland men beaten in Shinty/Hurling

Seamus Qualter's Ireland side lost today's Shinty/Hurling senior international 20-17 to their Scottish counterparts at Bught Park, Inverness.

The Irish panel, which was backboned by players who participated in this past summer's lower-tier Christy Ring and Nicky Rackard Cups, relied largely on Westmeath's Enda Loughlin and Kerryman John Mike Dooley, whose late goal earned a draw in last year's match, for their scoring.
