Ireland qualify for Women's T20 Cricket World Cup

THE Ireland Women’s cricket team have qualified for next year’s T20 World Cup after beating Scotland on Thursday.

It’s the latest feat in a growing sport in Ireland, as captain Isobel Joyce’s and her team-mates will take part alongside the best in the world in India in 2016.

Qualification came about following a nine-wicket win over the Scots, seeing Ireland advance to Saturday’s qualifier final against Bangladesh with their place at the tournament already secured.
