Results:

Cup Final: France 6 - 2 Holland 2 - 4.

France led by captain Patrick Fitzgerald proved too strong for a Holland team missing some players. Barry Grainger, Martin O'Farrell and Evan O'Donnell played some great hurling for the French team which proved worthy winners of the Cup Final. Holland tried very hard led by captain Brian O'Mahony, assisted by fantastic performances from Ryan Cantwell and Dylan Murphy McCarthy.

Plate Final: Italy 3 - 2 Brazil 2 - 0.

There was very little in this game until a goal near the end sealed victory for Italy. Team captain Cian Hurley was ably helped by Ciaran Cormack and Ciaran Kearney. Brazil with joint captains, the O'Brien brothers Conor and Daire along with Oisin Wedel put in a tremendous effort but just lost out.

Shield Final: Togo 5 - 0 Germany 4 - 0.

The result here was a shock as favourites Germany were caught out by surprise packets Togo led by Adrian Daly. The German captain David Dalton and his team played their heats out but could not catch Togo which took an early lead and never lost it.

Bowl Final: Angola 5 - 1 Argentina 4 - 4.

This was the match of the day and the teams were declared joint winners as they could not be seperated on the scoreboard. Captain Patrick McDonagh was brilliant for Angola while Adam Murphy was outstanding all through for Argentina.

Round 1 May 27th 2006.

France 8 - 4 Italy 5 - 4

This was much closer than the scoreline suggests with France pulling ahead in the final minutes. Barry Grainger, Noel Holland and Martin O'Farrell put in a mighty effort for France while Ciaran Kearney, David Cronin and Darragh O'Callaghan were outstanding on the morning for Italy.

Togo 5 - 1 Argentina 4 - 0

Outsiders Togo made a brilliant start to the Super Leagues when they pulled off a major surprise with a victory over Argentina. Adrian Daly Philip Buckley and Dara O'Donovan led the way for Togo while Adam Murphy, Josh Calder-Potts and Barry Forde were excellent for the Argentinian team.

Germany 3 - 2 Angola 2 - 5

This was an absolute cracker of a match and both should feature highly in the league tables at the end. It featured a very high standard of hurling and some brilliant scores. John Cashman, Paul O'Regan and David Dalton played very well for the German team while Patrick McDonagh, Kevin green and Mark O'Keeffe gave fine performances for Angola.
