Irish men aim to grab chance

THE odds mightn’t favour them, but Ireland’s senior men are determined to make the most of an opportunity to qualify for a major tournament for the first time over the coming eight days.

Paul Revington’s side are in Quilmes, Argentina for a World Cup qualifying campaign which gets underway tomorrow against the USA (4.05pm Irish time).

With just one qualification spot on offer, the Irish can’t slip up, and must get positive results against Belgium and the hosts, who are both ranked higher than 18th-placed Ireland.
