Today is an off day for the participants of the 2007 ILF World Indoor Lacrosse Championship, leaving them time to prepare for the quarter final round and wander the streets of Halifax. I figured this would be a perfect time to provide an update of this event.
At the end of round robin play, Canada and Iroquois finished first in their respective groups, winning all three games, and earned a spot in the semi-finals. Behind Canada in Group A is USA at 2-1 followed by Australia at 1-2 and Ireland at 0-3 completes the group. In Group B, England at 2-1 occupies the 2nd spot followed by Scotland at 1-2 and the Czech Republic at 0-3 sits in last place.
Play resumes tomorrow with the two last place teams battling it out for some respect along with the two quarterfinal games. In the first of the quarterfinal matchups, USA plays Scotland while in the second quarterfinal game, England will play Australia. The winner of these two games will go on to the semi-finals to face either Canada or Iroquois while the losers will play each other to decide fifth and sixth place. The winners of the semi-finals will play for gold on Sunday while the losers will compete for the bronze medal. Both medal games will be televised on Sunday on APTN and Iroquois' semifinal game on Saturday will also be televised.
