After the difficult start against Luxembourg, San Marino got back on the winning track and finished the tournament in second place on a 3-1 win-loss record. On Saturday, they beat Northern Ireland 3-0 (25-18, 25-16, 25-13) and Malta 3-0 (25-14, 25-18, 25-20) and, on Sunday, they dropped a set against Ireland, but claimed a 3-1 (25-14, 25-14, 23-25, 25-14) victory to snatch the silver.
The hosts pleased the home crowd with a 3-0 (25-15, 25-18, 25-13) shutout of Northern Ireland on Friday evening and finished the tournament with a 3-0 (25-22, 25-18, 25-23) win over Ireland in the closing match on Sunday, which was enough for a spot on the podium.
In the only five-setter of the competition, Northern Ireland celebrated a 3-2 (25-12, 25-22, 12-25, 18-25, 15-4) victory in the derby against island neighbours Ireland.
