Ollie Kidd’s hat trick and doubles from Adam Walker and Louis Rowe propelled Ireland to the top of the men’s Under-21 EuroHockey Championship II table with an 8-0 win over Poland in Plzen Litice.

It was by some distance their most fluid performance to date while their penalty corner machine functioned well, netting five out of 10 of those set pieces.
