That's all the #TeamIreland Bocce games finished for #WorldGamesAD. We'll have updates later on results from today's games so keep an eye out for those! What a week it has been! #MeettheDetermined

[SOIBocce @BocceSoi]

SILVER for Ciara and Caroline in doubles Bocce. Both won Bronze in their singles games but as the song goes, some things are better when we're together 💚⚪🧡 #TeamIreland #MeetTheDetermined

[SOIBocce @BocceSoi]

Tough game for the ladies doubles. Caroline and Ciara are doing great but Saudi have the upper hand in this one. #TeamIreland #AbuDhabi2019 #meetthedetermined

[SOIBocce @BocceSoi]

Three happy faces #lastgame #anotherwin #AbuDhabi2019 @SOIreland

[SOIBocce @BocceSoi]

And that's game to #TeamIreland! They won comfortably against Cyprus so smiles all round. 3 out of 4 games won 👏

[SOIBocce @BocceSoi]

Good morning from #TeamIreland Bocce doubles. We have Matthew and Richard up now V Cyprus followed by Ciara and Caroline V Saudi Arabia at 10.20. Good luck!! ☘☘☘

[SOIBocce @BocceSoi]

Like the saying goes, when the cat's away, the mice come out to play! We're having great fun here as the families, supporters and coaches have taken over the Bocce arena! Such a lovely way to end the day 💚

[SOIBocce @BocceSoi]

It's a win for the men's doubles game against Morocco!!! Look at the support watching it, just amazing. We have athletes from @FootballSoi @BadmintonSoi @GymnasticsSoi @KayakSoi and loads more! 😍💚⚪🧡
