From the Irish National Darts Organisation on Facebook:

"The lads to say the group was good for us but we still had to put the work in and they went about it very professionally topping the group to only meet
Our neighbours Northern Ireland and doing the job was good then to play a tough turkey team who threw everything at them and the still done a sterling job on them tension was high and could have been our last game in the event but again they showed what they were made of on to wales next on the stream going in we were probably supposed to be looking down the barrel of the gun but again they stood up and showed what they were here to do the lads were growing in confidence with every leg won and put themselves 1 game awe from been Europe cup champions the big day arrived Saturday vs the Netherlands probably just slightly favoured for the win but the boys said no not this time lads we will take it from here thanks what a job these lads done neves of steel from Aidan and Sean been the more experienced and showed guys in legs to Shane and Callum saying right lads we have your backs here I’m in awe of this group of lads and young ladies I want to thank our team."
