Brace for McCabe as super Irish demolish Korea

IRISH hockey was yesterday celebrating one of the most famous results in its recent history, after the senior men’s side routed world number six Korea 5-1 at the INSEP Five Nations in Paris yesterday.

Paul Revington’s charges have had a tremendous summer thus far, claiming both the Champions Challenge II and Celtic Cup trophies with relatively inexperienced panels, as well as reaching the final of the UCD Four Nations.

But they climbed greater heights yesterday by stunning an in-form Korea side, who recently saw off top opposition in England and New Zealand at the London Cup and are ranked 12 places higher than the Irish.
