Offaly's Emma Glavin Stands Out Despite Irish Defeat Against Turkey

It's Ireland's second defeat of the group stage.

Ireland put in a better showing in their second game of the FIBA U18 Challenger event this afternoon.

Just 24 hours after a convincing loss to Lithuania, they ran Turkey very close before falling away in the closing stages to a 67-55 defeat. 

After a two point haul in ten minutes of play yesterday, Emma Glavin stepped up significantly to notch 10 points on 4/14 shooting including two three pointers in 22 minutes. 

She also recorded two rebounds and two steals in the contest to sit second on the stats sheet. 

Her sister Ellie didn't see the court today after checking in for just over two minutes yesterday. 

Next up for Ireland is a tie with home town team Czech Republic tomorrow.
