CHINA BODY-SEARCHED 10,000 PIGEONS

IRELAND were again left frustrated despite recording another positive result at Bisham Abbey yesterday, drawing 2-2 with Great Britain.

NO goals and no points is the chilling statistic worrying Ireland’s senior ladies after they fell to two 3-0 defeats to Germany and Belgium on the opening weekend of the EuroHockey Nations Championships in Germany.

England completed the double over Ireland after a 2-1 victory in Dublin this afternoon gave them an unassailable lead in the three-match tour – adding to the series victory at home a fortnight ago.
