Austria Prepare For Dublin Trip
24.08.2006

Austria manager Hubert Schriner takes his side to Dublin this weekend for a warm-up tournament ahead of the EuroBasket qualifiers.

The tournament will include Norway and Ireland, as the Austrians ready themselves for their opening EuroBasket Division B fixture against Finland on September 3.  

"This should give us a good test," said Schriner.

Schriner's team took part in another round robin tournament two weeks ago, that featured Portugal, Slovakia and Belarus.

They were defeated by Belarus, 91-79, and by Portugal 88-78, but claimed a morale boosting result against Slovakia, 76-60.

Of the Slovakia win, he added: "We started the game well and in the end deserved our win."
