Bethany Barr has become the third Irish player set to miss the Olympic Games due to an ACL injury, ruling her out of Tokyo in the same manner as her twin sister Serena and Zoe Wilson.

It came amid a rough week for the squad who were pencilled in at short notice to travel to Malaysia for a high humidity camp only for the 19-day tour to be cancelled on the day of departure.
