Player fury as Ireland pulled from Argentina tournament
IHA board chairman Dennis Millar yesterday said the board had reluctantly taken the decision as they “could not see how the squad could be properly prepared for this prestigious world tournament” due to the absence of a coach and manager for the team.
Paul Revington resigned as coach in May, after helping Ireland improve from 18th to 15th in the world rankings, while beating top 10 teams regularly, winning unprecedented silverware and coming within a whisker of Olympic qualification.
