Revington: We reached point of no return

Paul Revington left the Irish hockey public with more questions than answers over his departure after admitting his tenure as senior men’s coach had reached “the point of no return”.

The South African wrapped up his three-and-a-half-year stint with the Irish side this week, and barring any last-minute hitches, will take over the job as senior coach to the Malaysian men.

Revington resigned in May following Ireland’s heartbreaking last-gasp Olympic qualifier final defeat to Korea in March, but stayed on to oversee the Celtic Cup and UCD 3 Nations campaigns.
