In the group stages Ireland were in a tough group with France & Denmark but had some great matches and narrowly missed coming 2nd losing out to France by 1 point.

This put them in the playoff positions for 7th, 8th & 9th and after 2 great wins against Austria & Switzerland Ireland finished in 7th position.

A major highlight for the Irish team was the over 60's Women's doubles remaining undefeated throughout the tournament.
