IRELAND QUALIFY FOR RIO HOCKEY 26-10-15


5TH PLACE ENOUGH FOR IRELAND TO QUALIFY

 

Ireland’s future was out of their own hands after losing in the semi-final of the European Men’s Field hockey championships in August and were deepening on a result to come through for them. Ireland had come fifth in the world masters which meant that they had to wait on other results. They did come through bit by bit but it was a very slow process. Brazil won the south American championship to allow Spain in. Australia had win the Oceania cup over the weekend for Ireland to qualify and they beat New Zealand 3-2 this means that Ireland will have a team in the Olympics for the first time3 in as far back as I can think. I do not think Athletics or swimming are teams as they are based around the individual and not the team.
