7^th place finish for Scots in Sardinia

The Scottish National Cerebral Palsy team competed in the IFCPF European Championships between the 2 and 11 June 2023 and finished in 7^th position. The countries involved in the Championships were: Ukraine, England, Netherlands, Germany, Ireland, Spain and Italy. Scotland faced a hard group with some of the best countries in the world and had 3 tough matches in the group stages of the tournament against Ukraine, Ireland and Germany. The team put in a great fight and showed great spirit during all games with the support of their coaches and medical team. Scotland finished bottom of Group B which meant they went on to play Netherlands who finished third in group A. Unfortunately Scotland lost that match 6-0 therefore went in to the 7/8 playoff against Italy. Scotland won this game 1-0 which resulted in a 7^th position finish. A huge well done to all the players, coaches and staff who contributed to the teams success in Sardinia. All Scotland results are below:

Scotland V Ireland (2 June) – 1 – 4
