The Olympic Federation of Ireland has officially named the men’s hockey team that will compete at the Olympic Games in Paris next month.

Captained by Sean Murray (Lisburn), the team clinched one of the coveted places at the final qualification event in Valencia earlier this year, when they beat Korea 4-3 in a scintillating final match.
