India Go Down To Ireland For First Time, Out Of Medal Contention

Ipoh: Despite taking lead twice in the 10th minute and 26th minute, the Indian men’s Hockey Team went down 3-2 against Ireland, registering their first ever loss against the team. With this loss, India are out of medal contention and will play for the fifth/sixth position tomorrow.

Though Ramandeep Singh gave India the early lead in the 10th minute, Shane O’Donoghue equalised in the 24th minute.

Amit Rohidas gave the lead once again at 26th minute and Sean Murray once again scored at 36th minute and Lee Cole (42’) scored the winner for Ireland.

India will next play in the 5th/6th place match on March 10.

The women’s team, on the other hand, produced a splendid all-round performance to register a well-deserved 3-1 win in the fourth match of their five-match series against higher-ranked South Korea here at the Jinchun National Athletic Centre on Friday. Two goals in the first quarter by Gurjit Kaur (2′) and Deepika (14′) put India in a commanding position while Poonam Rani’s field goal in the 47th minute secured the victory for the visitors as Mi Hyun Park (57′) scored a consolation goal for South Korea.
