Ireland finished in 14th position.
Andrina Carmody finished 4th top scorer in the championship on 100 points.
Presentation Listowel would have finished in 11th or 12th position but for the result against Austria.
Niall Murphy from North Monastery would have finished as the top scorer on 163 points in the championships had not his 6 points in the last quarter against Luxembourg not been deducted. The deduction was made as he shattered the backboard with 2 minutes to go and the referee recorded the full time score as the same applying at the end of the third quarter. As a result he lost out to Dusan Zivicky of Slovalia on 157 points.
Greece and Belgium who were in the Ireland (North Monastery) pool finished 3rd and 4th respecitively.
