Exams rule out Jermyn as Irish squad named for Dutch test

CORK Church of Ireland’s John Jermyn is one the notable absentees from the Irish senior hockey squad to take on Holland next month.

Jermyn is omitted due to exam commitments as the side continues the build-up to the European Championships in Manchester in August.

Coach Dave Passmore unveiled the 18-man selection yesterday and bemoaned the loss of Jermyn.
