IRELAND will face China, the team ranked fourth in the world, in the bronze medal match at the KT Cup in South Korea after beating Malaysia 4-0 yesterday.

LAST WEEK’S fine victory at the Tri-Nations men’s hockey tournament in Cork proved to Ireland coach Dave Passmore that the Irish team has great potential as it continues its preparation for the European Nations Trophy in Rome from September 11-17.

IRISH coach David Scott has to plan without his U-21 talent, but will welcome the return of five experienced internationals for a three-game series with Belgium in Brussels later this month.

CORK HARLEQUINS survived the vigorous challenge of a committed NICS, the stresses of a knock-out semi-final and the tension of a penalty shoot-out to qualify for their second consecutive Royal Liver Irish Senior Cup final at Stormont on Saturday.
