Ireland took a bit of battering against the big Swedes but certainly gave it back to them when they could. The Irish put all they had on them, with some good pressing but the Swedish Team with a lot of trunk and speed on court slowly built up the lead with some fast and hard play. John Mac had a great game with the highlight of his game putting their big 3.5 on the floor. Overall the game allowed Ireland some development of line ups for their key crunch game against the Netherlands this afternoon. Irelands starting line up had a strong game against the Swedes but then Ireland continued to run their lines and develop the team for our key games. The final score was 62 - 28 to the Swedes. The team are all performing well and looking forward to this evenings game.
