Ireland star Jermyn aims for perfect send-off against France

The 36-year-old Cork man will formally retire from international hockey after 178 matches and an Irish record of 92 goals – prior to tonight – over the course of 16 years, culminating in the 2016 Olympics, marking him out as one of the all-time greats.
“I can’t think of a better way to call an end to my career than in front of a home crowd in Garryduff where I first started training 32 years ago with my hero Reg Treacy,” Jermyn said of the fixture.
