Lisa Jacob has been appointed as the new Irish women’s hockey team manager, taking over from Arlene Boyles in the role to work with head coach Sean Dancer for the remainder of the 2021 Olympic campaign.

Like Boyles, Jacob is a former international with 139 caps earned between 2006 and 2014, a bronze medal at the 2012 Champions Challenge a stand-out highlight.
