Womens World Cup Hockey Final

Postby Samoan » 05 Aug 2018, 11:32

Today, we're (well probably just I, maybe never/ever ) going to be treated to the Final match between Ireland and defending champions The Netherlands in London later today. It's pretty hot out there weather wise predicted high of 29*c.

Yesterday, Ireland beat Spain in a shock penalty shootout to secure the Hockey World Cup final place, Ireland having gone into the tournament ranked second lowest team.

Ireland certainly have been a surprise: great to seen the old hegemony of successful hockey-nations being challenged.

Ah well, there you go, but Many Congrats to The Netherlands on a resounding win and retaining the title.

But an accolade was also duly given Ireland's Ayeisha McFerran who was named the goalkeeper of the tournament.
