Congratulations to David & Conor Harte members of the Irish - 2015-10-28 08:58:00
men's hockey team. They have qualified for the
Rio 2016 Olympics thanks to Australia's 3-2 victory in the Oceania Cup.
The team will be the first Irish hockey team to compete at an Olympics since 1908 and the first team of any sport to represent Ireland at an Olympic Games since 1948. The Green Machine have been patiently playing the waiting game since World League in Antwerp in July where they finished with a record high of 5th place. They then made history by winning a bronze medal at the Eurohockey Championships in August to firmly cement their place amongst the best in European and world hockey.
