Celtic Cup 2005 |
25th - 28th July 2005, Cardiff |
Ireland take gold at inaugural Celtic Cup |
Ireland's 30 strong squad won the first ever International Lacrosse Celtic Cup, winning both their
matches over Scotland and hosts Wales. The 6-4 and 6-5 victories were as close as the scoreline suggested,
with Ireland showing tremendous resolve to overcome both opponents. In the battle for second, Scotland overran
their Welsh opponents 14-7 to claim silver.
2007 Celtic Cup will be hosted by Ireland. |
| Thanks go to the City of Cardiff, Cardiff County Council and Sportsmatch Cymru, without whom the Celtic
Cup could not have been held. |
