The Irish men's hockey team suffered a 2-0 defeat to the Tokyo Olympic bronze medallists India in their third pool match of Paris 2024 on Tuesday afternoon. Ireland had previously lost to Australia and Belgium. 

Harmanpreet Singh scored a first-half double to give India an early lead at the historic Yves-du-Manoir Stadium, and although Ireland created a number of goal-scoring opportunities, the world number five ranked side held firm to see out the win.
