Irish eyes smiling as Bray’s Kavanagh drives on Australia

Bray-born Fergus Kavanagh could be one of the Ireland’s unofficial Olympic gold medallists.

Kavanagh helped Australia’s men’s hockey team blast aside world number five side Spain 5-0 yesterday in the Riverbank Arena.

He describes Ireland as his “traditional home” while 15 members of his family will make the short hop across the Irish Sea to support him next week in London.
