Fixtures announced

Last updated : 02 February 2008 By Paul Jennings
The fixtures for the 2010 qualifying series were held in Bulgaria today and the Irish face 2 tough away trips to Georgia and Montenegro to kick off the campaign. We then face the Cypriots at home whose 4 points gained against us still fresh in the minds.


Then in February next year it is home games against Georgia and Bulgaria. Then come the daunting trips away to face World Cup Champions Italy and the to Sofia to play Bulgaria.


The final round of games sees us play in Cyprus for hopefully a better redult than the 5-2 thrashing and the homes games against Italy and new comers Montenegro
