European Women’s Championship Irish Update

Team Ireland had a light training session this afternoon ahead of the start of the 9th European Women’s Championships in Bucharest, Romania on Saturday.

Irish team manager Fiona Hennigan reports that the five-strong quad trained late this afternoon because of the high humidity in the Romanian capital.

The Irish squad will have another light training session tomorrow before Saturday’s weigh-in, draw and preliminaries. Bucharest is two hours ahead of Ireland.
