Honeymoon over for Ireland as they face mighty Belgians again

“To beat them 4-1 and to kind of beat them the way we did, and the fashion we did… We beat them off the pitch, there was no question about it."

Picture the scene. A pair of newlyweds on honeymoon in Majorca. A beautiful restaurant. And the husband stuck on his phone for an hour catching up with the office.

Look, Shane O’Donoghue couldn’t help himself and wife Emma likely understood. Like O’Donoghue, sport is in her family’s blood and you probably don’t marry an international hockey player two months out from their second Olympics Games without expecting ‘work’ to find him.
