Luke Madeley’s double helped Ireland make it two wins from two at the Four Nations Invitational tournament in Uddingston in Scotland, seeing off the USA 3-0.

Madeley got the ball rolling with a 10th minute low corner strike and he put further distance between the teams with a second set piece goal in the 43rd minute.

Conor Empey finished off a counter-attack move for the third before Madeley missed out on a hat-trick when his penalty stroke was blocked by Jonathan Klages.
