Report

_________________________________________________________

From 2004-2012 Ireland competed in the B-Tournament in the European Championships, and twice winning promotion to the A-Tournament, before the loss of Home Ice meant they could no longer compete.

In 2004, they finished top of Group A with a perfect 8-0 record, winning 13-4 in the Semi-Finals against the Czech Republic before losing 9-2 to Finland in the Final, although winning Promotion in the process.

2005 would see Ireland finish with a 4-5 record in the A-Tournament and in joint 6th.

In 2006 the Irish team would finish with a 3-6 record, losing the relegation playoff 5-4 to France.

Back in the B-Tournament for 2007, Ireland would finish top of Group A on 6-0, but lose the Promotion Playoff 9-7 & 9-2 to the Czechs. After winning the Placement Playoff 9-7 against Latvia, Ireland would win the Final 9-4 against Spain.

In the A-Tournament again for 2008 Ireland would finish joint bottom with a 1-8 record and be relegated.

Once again in the B-Tournament for 2009, the Irish would finish joint second in their Group on 7-2, before once again beating Latvia in the Playoffs 9-2, and then going down 9-3 to the Netherlands in the Place 3 Playoff, who would go on to beat Russia in the Final.

In the 2010 Tournament, Ireland would finish runners-up to Latvia in their group with 5 wins and 1 loss, before beating Slovakia 9-2 & 8-2 in the Playoffs, and again losing in the Semi-Finals to the eventual winners, this time Italy on a scoreline of 6-5.

For 2011, Ireland would finish joint top of their group on 6-1 with England, before losing the Playoff to them 8-4, and then in the next Playoff, losing to Hungary 6-4. Once again, for the third year running, Ireland would lose in the Semi-Finals to the eventual winner, Russia this time, 6-3.

Following a disappointing 2012 where Ireland finished bottom of their group on 1-6, they would lose Home Ice, after Dundonald Ice Bowl was no longer available for Curling, and be unable then to compete in the European Championships until returning to the C-Tournament in 2017.

Report

In 1991 the Irish Basketball Association decided to merge Divisions 1 and 2 in the Men’s National League and drop the numbers of paid imports from two to one, thinking the Irish players were up to playing at the same level as the American imports.

Ballina made up for earlier disappointments winning the first National Basketball League title beating St. Vincent’s Glasnevin  91-78 in the Playoff Final. St. Vincent’s were again the runners-up the following year, losing 79-62 to North Monastery in the Final.

Following this the League was again split into two levels – the Super League and Division 1
