Ireland’s play-off match against Sweden has been scheduled for Tuesday, June 16th on IGS at 8pm 7.30pm Irish time. A win would see Ireland promoted to the B league for the first time in the ten year history of the European Team Championship.

The match will be played on five boards instead of the usual four, to avoid the possibility of a draw. Ireland will be represented by Karl Irwin, Philippe Renaut, Ian Davis, James Hutchinson and Matei Garcia.
