Best of Luck to the Glen's. It's certainly within their power to make it to the final, where I imagine the French will be their opposition.

This will certainly get Ireland valuable ranking points for the 2008/2009 EHL but unfortunately as Pembroke were knocked out at the 1st round stage, I don't think it will be enough to move us from 10th into 8th (above Scotland & France) as clubs from both those countries progressed to the 2nd Round of EHL competition.

But on the other hand we shouldn't drop below Switzerland and Austria, so at least we'll have an EHL place for next year!!
