1 up on Poland in the first half. Rory Finneran with the goal.

[Exgrad]

Poland equaliser and missed pen by Ireland, 5 mins left.

[nigel-harps1954]

Not the result we'd have wanted today, especially after going one up early on. Need to be beating Scotland and getting a draw or a win against Italy now.

[Exgrad]

for the first group in a three round qualifying it seems tough enough.

1-1 at half time

[tetsujin1979]

Scotland game finished 3-3. We play group leaders Italy tomorrow, and I think we have enough done already to not finish in fourth position, but at least a point should guarantee a place in League A in the second qualifying round later in the year

[tetsujin1979]

Final group game against Italy ended in a 2-1 loss, but we had done enough in the opening two games to finish third and go into League A in the next round at the end of the year
