Irish crowd - made up of, I believe, a touring Loreto, Dalkey contingent - still in good voice despite some taunts that they were not singing anymore. A decent first half was undone by a poor third quarter. An innovative move from Gene Muller, subbing off Mary Goode for an extra outfielder almost drew dividends but in the end Spain picked up a one-sided scoreline that belied the balance of play.
Ireland now need to beat Azerbaijan and Russia to keep their 'A division' status in tact.

Shame about the score line. We had our chances. Just didn't take them. We'll just have to work harder against Russia and Azerbaijan then. Great commentary work - thanks Stephen.
