IRELAND has announced a very strong panel in its bid to win a sixth successive road gold medal at next May’s European Championships in Neuharlingersiel in Germany.

Leading the charge will be current European champion Séamus Sexton and historic four-in-a-row winner David Murphy. But the rest of the squad has serious depth for both of the critical disciplines for the Irish: road bowling and Dutch Moors.
