Whatâs the story with the Irish kit suppliers? The 7s rugby team were wearing McKeever jerseys and the hockey team are here in Adidas gear.
I wondered the same. McKvr are apparently the official supplier of all the gear and supporters stuff. I wondered if the 7s didnât count cos the Olympics werenât technically opened yet. All the athletes and boxers photos are in Adidas gear as well
They did a few interviews with members of the hockey team before the start and some of them were wearing McKeever gear and others Adidas. Strange.
Whatâs the story with the menâs hockey? Belgium camped in our half here. Are they good? Have we any hope of getting out of group?
Iâm assuming McKvr have the official OCI support but then each individual sports bodies might have agreed deals with others like Adidas or something. That was the root of the issue with Sonia back in Atlanta from what I remember so maybe itâs more amicable now. Just guessing though
Apparently Google says we are ranked 11 in the world. Belgium are no 3.
No hope of getting out would be my assessment after watching approx 20 min of hockey in the last 10 years

Makes sense. God saves.
Better known as the site of the football match in Escape To Victory.
The Irish hockey team will be lucky to escape to a 2-0 defeat.
I was at a rugby match there a few years back and reckon they hadnât done much with the place since 1924!
