Irish Hockey

[BennyCake]

Which anthem do they play?

Irelands Call

Oh Christ

The more I read about it the more convinced I am that this is one remarkable group of athletes. They have cross-over skills from many other sports, including Camogie, Gaelic football, cricket, soccer, Indycar motor racing, and even Irish dancing.

Hockey itself is a smashing sport. It should be a lot more popular with the general public on the world stage than it is. It's a very skilful game and has meaningful international competition, with a wider spread of competitive countries than rugby or cricket - arguably only association football has a wider spread. It's consistently one of the most interesting sports at the Olympics. In terms of the marketing of the sport, however, it's been a big underachiever.

Irish international sporting teams have previously used both The Rose Of Tralee and The Last Rose Of Summer as their "national anthem".

Personally I'd love it if they used "Jimmy Jimmy" by The Undertones for the craic.

Would this be Ireland's first ever World Cup Final in any sport? Some achievement by a team of amateurs who had to fundraise to participate in it👍

I'm not one for anthems in general, but that's a shite song.
