The tournament will act as the only qualifier for the World Elite Championships in Hamburg in August/September.
Irish squad
Team Ireland finished in 4th spot in the medals table at the recent Pavlyukov Youth Memorial in Russia.

Russia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Ireland, in that order, commanded the top four positions in the medals table.
Sean McComb (blue) in action
Sean McComb believes it’s harder to medal at the World Elite Championships than the Olympics.
“There’s not the same publicity with a world medal as an Olympic medal but it’s 10 times harder to win,” the Holy Trinity light-welter told today’s Irish News in the countdown to the World Elites in Hamburg, Germany in August/September.
