Kosovo today has defeated Ireland at Pristina Youth and Sports Palace in European U18 Division C.
Despite Ireland's deep coach, Nate Moore has denied that Kosovo was better at this meeting, with the argument that his team was physically weaker and did not have the length of Kosovo basketball players.

Kosovo won the score of 69-55 to qualify in the finals of this division.

We knew it would be difficult in front of the team of nurses, but our boys played fantastic basketball. The only thing they were better than us was size and physics and that was what defeated us. They didn't play good basketball, but we didn't have the size of them reaching”, is Moore for Limerick Leader.

He says that Paul Kelly's loss because of the injury made things difficult for him.

I think our guys gave everything, some shots didn't work. Kelly's loss before the end of the first part made things difficult. We'll go back and fight for medals tomorrow”, he said.
