It’s Friday morning and the news from Taarnby is not good. The Irish men’s team, fighting for a place at the European B league in Stavanger, Norway at the end of next month lost a crucial game last night to Serbia by one shot – 9-8.

John F will have a detailed report in due course but it means there game against ICELAND today is meaningless. Just playing for pride.

Topping the table are Wales and Romania on five points followed by Slovenia and Serbia on four points.
