Irish Hockey

Isn't it an all-Ireland team? Same as Cricket? Soccer seems to be a bit of an outlier in Irish sport with the partition thing.

Didn't some NI women play with GB in Olympics?

Not one of winning Olympic team was from N.I. or Wales or Scotland for that matter I think.. But it is team GB and N.I

May have been at token panelist somewhere

It was four on GB men's olympic team even though Ireland qualified.

Don't think so, I watched all their games that summer and can't remember my kids saying there was ones from here on the panel/team

Gleghorne brothers from Antrim played in Rio, one for GB and one for Ireland.

I thought we were talking womens hockey, my mistake.

Could they not get on the panel? or did a Barry mcguigan?

Hockey produces its fair share of stunners!

It's interesting that sports that have traditionally been associated with Unionism such as rugby, hockey and cricket are played on All Ireland basis.
Then the most oirishy of them all, soccer, is partitioned, despite the green flag waving, cheering leprechauns and plastic Paddy-ism.

The FAI were the spliters

They're only really associated with unionism in the North though, at least hockey and rugby are. The Catholic order schools in the south are the nurseries for both hockey and rugby.

The other option was an 'Irish' side based in Belfast under the U jack and GSTQ. Do you think the Leinster FA were wrong to split?

There aren't enough Unionists to make a successful international team in any sport. Including soccer.

I hope the hockeyers win the semi-final.
