Heroic performance from Ireland. Well done! – at Lisburn, Northern Ireland
Final score from game one for @IIndoorhockey: Ireland 1 (H Kelly) Poland 4 (P Slawinska 2, A Katerla, S Tatarczuk) Ireland led 1-0 at half-time and it was level with four minutes to go before the world number six pulled clear!

Really sad that Hockey Ireland can't find even a small sum to part fund the national team representing their country And the governing body. – at Lisburn, Northern Ireland
Delighted to be part of Irish Womens Indoor Hockey team competing at the European Champs this week in Spain Jan 20-24th. As players we cover all costs of the program, our coaches are volunteers and we receive no financial support from our governing body. gofund.me/b033cd26

Classic indeed! – at Lisburn, Northern Ireland
Interesting and heart wrenching at same time. – at Lisburn, Northern Ireland
This (very emotional!) thread is a reminder of why the no10 gatherings have enraged so many who don’t consider themselves ‘political’. Everyone has a stake in this political story unlike others before; people made huge sacrifices in the understanding everyone was in it together
Unconfirmed reports coming in that there was at least one day during lockdown that Boris Johnson wasn’t at a party

Interesting stuff! Re schools in Ulster, seems they still 'trump' clubs in some instances. Eg, schools had first call for Bfs Harlequins in away game in Limerick. In other provinces, eg Leinster, coordination rules with vast majority of school games now midweek. – at Lisburn, Northern Ireland

First saw Sarah T as an unknown v Belfast Harlequins few years ago. Scored all five goals! Told then Ireland manager, Arlene Boyles, what I'd seen. Brilliant to see ST now doing so well! – at Lisburn, Northern Ireland
So, if ever a video montage epitomised what #hockey is all about, this would be it. Thanks again to @sarah_torrans @sarahhawkshaw for giving up some time to inspire the next generation of @WaterfordHC players. What a day! @IreWomenHockey @SoftCoGroup
