SCOTLAND FINISH FIRST AND LAST IN CELTIC CUP

Scotland had a good day on the third and final day of the Celtic Cup in Wrexham, their women beating the French 6-0 and their men the French 1-0. However, as far as the men were concerned it was too late and they finished bottom of the table in this round-robin event. The women’s win gave them maximum points and they win the Celtic Cup in the women’s section. As has been the case in many previous matches in this tournament, the meetings between the Irish and the Welsh resulted in a reversal of fortunes for the men and women. The Irish women beat Wales 3-0 but their menfolk faired less well, going down 1-0 to Wales.

FINAL POSITIONS:

Men’s Celtic Cup. 1st Wales, Jt 2nd Ireland, France, 4th Scotland.

Women’s Celtic Cup. 1st Scotland, 2nd Ireland, 3rd Wales, 4th France.
