Brisbane, Jul 14 (AP) A warm-up game between Ireland and Colombia ahead of the Women's World Cup was abandoned after only 20 minutes on Friday because of what the Irish said was the "overly physical" nature of the match.

Ireland said in a statement the behind-closed-doors game in Brisbane was called off after consultation with match officials, and the team then held a full training session on the field instead.
