Match Reports

Ireland 18 China 3 (Yellow Group) – 12 July 2018: Ireland opened their 2018 FIL world Championships in style with an 18-3 victory over China. Ted Forst (6 Pts) and Corey McMahon (5 Pts) led the Irish points scorers.[34]

Ireland 14 Denmark 3 (Yellow Group) – 14 July 2018: Ireland finished top of the Yellow Group by dominating Denmark in their second game. The Offense controlled the game with help from Luke Palmadesso and Sonny Campbell at the Face-Offs, while the Defense almost totally shut-out the Danes. Offensive Player of the Game was Andy Meyers for a couple of goals and two-way performance. Defensive Player of the Game was Gearoid Dunbar for great positioning and tough defending.[35]

Ireland 12 Latvia 7 (1st Tournament Tree Round) – 15 July 2018: In the first of the Tournament Tree Rounds, Ireland defeated Latvia 12-7, taking control of the game early on, but Latvia were able to stay in touch as the game progressed. Ireland’s Offense kept possession, taking advantage of Latvia’s no pressure Defence, while Latvia were the first team in the tournament to challenge Ireland’s Defense, with big, athletic forwards. Offensive Player of the Game was Teddy Forst for his hat-trick and smart play, while Defensive Player of the Game was Connor Kelly in goals for making dynamic saves.[36]

Ireland 15 Italy 7 (2nd Tournament Tree Round) – 16 July 2018 Ireland went 4-0 in the Tournament beating Italy 15-7, keeping the Italians pinned down for course of the match. Despite the tough Italian Defense Ireland were able to score with almost every shot on goal, and Aaron Cahill took a pounding from the Italy Defense while scoring two important goals, which earned him Offensive Player of the Game. Peter Sullivan earned Defensive Player of the Game for Lock-Down Isolation Defense and team defense awareness, as well as causing a number of turnovers.[37]

Ireland 4 Israel 16 (3rd Tournament Tree Round) – 17 July 2018: Ireland came away from this match with their first loss of the tournament to the Hosts, who played the best match of their tournament. Israel’s defense was big and dexterous, and their goalie kept Ireland to only four goals, as Ireland faced their biggest challenge yet everywhere on the field. Plamadesso and Campbell hotly contested each Face-off and held their own, although Ireland’s Defense took the biggest pounding anywhere on the field, though they recovered somewhat in the second half.[38]

Ireland 10 England 11 (Placement Round 1: Place 3) – 18 July 2018: Ireland were punching above their weight in this match against England. Twice the Top Division side were held even with Ireland, at 9-9 and 10-10, after Ireland came out strongly, going 5-1 up in the First Quarter to shock one of the Old Powers of the sport. England made some big adjustments to their style of play in the second quarter, running a run-and-gun sttyle attack and taking advantage of superiority in man-up opportunities as they came back into the game, as the game was tied 7-7 at the half. The second half saw few goals scored as both teams scored two in the thord to again be level at the end of a quarter. With only fives minutes remaing the score was still level at 10-10 but the English found a hole in transition and put one past the Irish goalie. Ireland went on the attack immediately to try and get the equaliser but it was to no avail as a technical foul in the last minute saw the ball turned over and England managed to run out the clock. It was a remarkable performance from the Irish team which showed what the Ireland Lacrosse program is capable of, coming within a whisker of beating one of the top 5 teams in the World. [39]

Ireland 5 Germany 14: (Placement Round 2: 9th-12th Semi-Finals) – 19 July 2018: Coming down after the high of the near shock match with England, Ireland lost 14-5 to old nemesis Germany. Ireland made a number of miss-steps in the Penalty Box, giving Germany plenty of Man-Up Opportunities which they capitalsed on. For most of the first half Ireland led as the Offense found the net on a few occasions. After that, the offense conceeded forced turnovers which left the Defense on the back foot for most of the second half. Tiredness had set in and the Defense also made mistakes, failing to clear consistently, as Ireland wilted under pressure and lost 14-5.[40]

Ireland 10 Scotland 14: (Placement Round 3 11th Place) – 20 July 2018: With the last game of the tournament, Ireland fought gallantly but lost to a Scotland team which had started in the Top Group and had lost all of its matches prior to this one. Despite leading early with goals from Wallace, Cahill, Forst and Wichmann Scotland fired off seven wwithout reply to put the game beyond the Irish, however, 12th out of 46 was a good finish for Ireland and they could look over the tournament with some sense of Pride with success early on and close games against some of the giants of the game.[41]

Tournament Report

The Irish National Team for the 2002 World Championships consisted of Americans, Canadians, Australians, South Africans and Englishmen from Irish backgrounds. The team was the brain-child of Goalie Joe Garvey and its purpose in competing at the Championships was to raise the profile of Lacrosse in Ireland. A Tout of Ireland to promote the game would follow. Ireland competed brilliantly in the Green (third) Division, winning all five matches, finishing in 13th Place

Match Reports

Ireland 16 Hong Kong 1 – 6 July 2002This was the first full men’s International played by Ireland in 70 years, and they got off to a roaring start, scoring 10 goals in the first half. Hong Kong pulled one back however Ireland ran out easy winners under the consistent attack of Peter Soden, Kevin Dowd, Brian McGettigan, and Dan Daley.[3]

Ireland 14 Korea 5 – 7 July 2002Ireland rattled off five goals in the first quarter to keep up the momentum from Day 1. Brothers John and Dan Daley both found the net in a fast-paced game which Ireland dominated, going in 8-0 up at the half. Three more goals were scored in the first three minutes of the second half before Korea managed to steady themselves and get on the scoresheet, leaving the score 12-2 at the end of the third quarter. Pat McGee in attack and Kevin Dowd in midfieeld were tireless throughout. Ireland relaxed late in the last quarter letting the Koreans score three more goals, however Ireland ran out easy 14-5 winners.[4]

Ireland 19 New Zealand 3 – 8 July 2002Ireland showed good communication, passing and movement in their third game of the Championships against New zealand with the confidence running high. Dan Daley and Pat McGee scored 10 goals between them as coach Richie Moran ensured the stayed fired up, running out easy 19-3 winners.[5]

Ireland 15 Hong Kong 0 – 9 July 2002Ireland took their time getting into this match as it wasn’t until the fifth minute that Kevin Dowd opened the scoring , and then 12 minutes had elapsed before Dan Daley set up brother John for the second goal. It was a hot-tempered match with one Hong Kong player sentoff for cracking his stick off the back of an Irish players head. The second goal, however, seemed to settle the Irish team and they went in 6-0 up at half-time. John Daley had six goals in total, as Pat McGee and Dan Leidl got on the scoresheet before half-time. More goals came in the second half as Kevin Moran and John Daley got on the scoresheet. Dan Nolan scored late from a Mike Conway pass to finish off the shutout win.[6]

Ireland 16 Korea 3 – 10 July 2002Ireland’s last match of the tournament was a re-match against the Koreans. Ireland scored four gosals in each quarter as the teams played in heavy showers. Ireland’s defence made the difference early on as Korea stuggled to get on the scoreboard until netting two in the second quarter. The Daley brothers teamed up in the last quarter to finish off Korea, and finish the tournament with a 100% record. [7]

Report

Yellow Group: Ireland 18 China 3: Ireland opened their 2018 FIL world Championships in style with an 18-3 victory over China. Ted Forst (6 Pts) and Corey McMahon (5 Pts) led the Irish points scorers.[4]

Yellow Group: Ireland 14 Denmarkk 3: Ireland finished top of the Yellow Group by dominating Denmark in their second game. The Offense controlled the game with help from Luke Palmadesso and Sonny Campbell at the Face-Offs, while the Defense almost totally shut-out the Danes. Offensive Player of the Game was Andy Meyers for a couple of goals and two-way performance. Defensive Player of the Game was Gearoid Dunbar for great positioning and tough defending.[5]

1st Tournament Tree Round: Ireland 12 Latvia 7: In the first of the Tournament Tree Rounds, Ireland defeated Latvia 12-7, taking control of the game early on, but Latvia were able to stay in touch as the game progressed. Ireland’s Offense kept possession, taking advantage of Latvia’s no pressure Defence, while Latvia were the first team in the tournament to challenge Ireland’s Defense, with big, athletic forwards. Offensive Player of the Game was Teddy Forst for his hat-trick and smart play, while Defensive Player of the Game was Connor Kelly in goals for making dynamic saves.[6]

2nd Tournament Tree Round: Ireland 15 Italy 7: Ireland went 4-0 in the Tournament beating Italy 15-7, keeping the Italians pinned down for course of the match. Despite the tough Italian Defense Ireland were able to score with almost every shot on goal, and Aaron Cahill took a pounding from the Italy Defense while scoring two important goals, which earned him Offensive Player of the Game. Peter Sullivan earned Defensive Player of the Game for Lock-Down Isolation Defense and team defense awareness, as well as causing a number of turnovers.[7]

3rd Tournament Tree Round: Ireland 4 Israel 16: Ireland came away from this match with their first loss of the tournament to the Hosts, who played the best match of their tournament. Israel’s defense was big and dexterous, and their goalie kept Ireland to only four goals, as Ireland faced their biggest challenge yet everywhere on the field. Plamadesso and Campbell hotly contested each Face-off and held their own, although Ireland’s Defense took the biggest pounding anywhere on the field, though they recovered somewhat in the second half.[8]

Placement Round 1: Place 3: Ireland 10 England 11: Ireland were punching above their weight in this match against England. Twice the Top Division side were held even with Ireland, at 9-9 and 10-10, after Ireland came out strongly, going 5-1 up in the First Quarter to shock one of the Old Powers of the sport. England made some big adjustments to their style of play in the second quarter, running a run-and-gun style attack and taking advantage of superiority in man-up opportunities as they came back into the game, as the game was tied 7-7 at the half. The second half saw few goals scored as both teams scored two in the third to again be level at the end of a quarter. With only fives minutes remaining the score was still level at 10-10 but the English found a hole in transition and put one past the Irish goalie. Ireland went on the attack immediately to try and get the equalizer but it was to no avail as a technical foul in the last minute saw the ball turned over and England managed to run out the clock. It was a remarkable performance from the Irish team which showed what the Ireland Lacrosse program is capable of, coming within a whisker of beating one of the top 5 teams in the World. [9]

Placement Round 2: 9th-12th Semi-Finals: Ireland 5 Germany 14: Coming down after the high of the near shock match with England, Ireland lost 14-5 to old nemesis Germany. Ireland made a number of miss-steps in the Penalty Box, giving Germany plenty of Man-Up Opportunities which they capitalised on. For most of the first half Ireland led as the Offense found the net on a few occasions. After that, the offense conceded forced turnovers which left the Defense on the back foot for most of the second half. Tiredness had set in and the Defense also made mistakes, failing to clear consistently, as Ireland wilted under pressure and lost 14-5.[10]

Placement Round 3: 11th Place: Ireland 10 Scotland 14: With the last game of the tournament, Ireland fought gallantly but lost to a Scotland team which had started in the Top Group and had lost all of its matches prior to this one. Despite leading early with goals from Wallace, Cahill, Forst and Wichmann Scotland fired off seven wwithout reply to put the game beyond the Irish, however, 12th out of 46 was a good finish for Ireland and they could look over the tournament with some sense of Pride with success early on and close games against some of the giants of the game.[11]
