Looking ahead to the tournament, Ireland Under 18 men’s 3x3 head coach Paul Kelleher said: “The team has put in a nice body of work the last few weeks. They’ve played a number of games and got sharper over the preparation weeks to a new and different style of play.
“They’ve received great help in their preparations from older and experienced international players, and hopefully that will stand to them over the coming days.”
