Cork sports firm seals deal with Olympics hockey team

Brid Ryan, who founded Queen B Athletics with her sister Aedin Corbyn,describes their excitement as they watched the Irish women’s hockey team qualify for their first Olympics. The firm had received a major boost after becoming the official sports bra provider for the hockey team and had a pop-up shop at the team’s Olympic-qualifying game in Donnybrook at the start of the month.

“At some point, we were selling clothes, at other times we were on the other side of the pitch screaming our heads off,” she says.
