Ireland lost 4-2 to Belgium in the second of four games in the 3 Nations at a very wet Alcala earlier today. A scoreless first quarter in which both sides created chances but defences held strong. Belgium took the lead in the 17th minute from their second PC of the game, the initial shot saved by captain for the day Yvonne O’Byrne but the rebound was slapped home by Alix Gerniers. Ireland were countering well and forced their first PC of the game after good work by Deirdre Duke but due to surface water impacting the push out the shot was saved. Belgium created a couple of chances of their own but the Irish defence, which included Leah McGuire who stepped into the squad following a late injury to Ellen Curran, cleared any danger with Emma Buckley saving well from close range on the half time hooter.
