Ireland 10 Hungary 8

Holy Mary!

Neil and Alison, representing Ireland have got themselves  OLYMPIC points after beating the current mixed doubles world champions Hungary this afternoon.

They now play Slovakia at 8.30am tomorrow morning  – no idea if that’s BST or EST.

Neil explains the maths: ” We are currently ranked 9-12 so will earn between 1-4 Olympic points. We play Slovakia at 0830hrs then another game after that – winner vs winner and loser vs loser. If we lose then lose we get 1 point, lose then win = 2 points. Win then lose = 3 points and win then win = 4 points!”

Come on Ireland and the Fantastic Fyfes!
