'The start of something bigger and better': Bronze for Ireland on indoor hockey return

John Jackson hailed the Irish men’s bronze medal at the EuroHockey Indoor Championships III in Santander as “the start of something bigger and better” for the discipline.

Ireland netted twice in the final two minutes to beat Wales 2-1 with Jackson equalising 30 seconds before Ross Canning fired the winner. They had trailed for a long spell after Jonathan Fleck’s early goal and it looked set to be an exercise in frustration as Jackson and Mark English had shots cleared off the line.
