Team Ireland - Paris 2024 Qualification Tracker


Recommended Posts

Whether it’s publicly announced or not, the boxers will have been told who’s going to that first one. Broadhurst and Lisa O’Rourke have both had injury issues so may not be close to ready. Broadhurst had the first chance despite losing the Irish title last year so can’t really complain if Walsh gets first shot this time round (as good as she can be)

 

The coaches have been watching them for months, so will definitely know more about form and fitness than we do. Broadhurst may go like Joe Ward and be one of our brightest talents never to make an Olympics, but she has no one to blame but herself if that’s the case

Have to admit I am flabbergasted at the 66kg decision but the coaches know a hell of a lot more than me.

Yeah. Selection stuff never bothers me. A key line in the press release might be talking about those selected being committed. 
 

Talent is never the only criteria

Both men and women’s hockey teams 1 win (with 2 chances) away from Paris.

 

Competition definitely tough but they have really been playing well so far in their tournaments.

 

Fingers crossed to have the biggest ever Irish Olympic team!

I think the men have a 50/50 shot. Women have a harder task

Both Korea and Great Britain are beatable  -Korea maybe slightly more so. Last cycle one team just got through, one team just missed out. Suspect we may have similar this time, but neither Irish team are mugs, and none of the remaining semifinalists are either.

 

By the way, this has been a super cool qualification tournament all round

Heartbreak for the women's team - had an amazing tournament.

Fantastic to see the men's team qualify!

Panned out as I suspected, mirror of 2020, Girls miss out last gasp, Boys make it last gasp. If forced to choose, nice for the lads to get a shot at the  Games as well as the brilliant women's team

    • That is what UEFA published after the draw. 
    • after a relatively slow start,  start hitting boundaries left and right and  just couldn't chase their score of 320/5 (50 overs), leaving the home fans highly disappointed    Will Young (107) and  Tom Latham (118, not out) were the key batsmen for the eventual winners   Tomorrow, it's time for  vs  (in Dubai @ 10 a.m. CET)

    • Zürich's Sven Andrighetto won both the Top Scorer and MVP awards of the 2024/2025 CHL    
    • Zurich fend off Färjestad to claim European Club Champions title     Zurich defeat Färjestad to become CHL Champions Färjestad's inability to convert on special teams was costly Sven Andrighetto scored both goals for the Swiss     Sven Andrighetto scored twice, including the game-winner at 32:33, and Šimon Hrubec made 31 of 32 saves as ZSC Lions Zurich kept the European Trophy in Switzerland with a nail-biting 2-1 victory over Färjestad Karlstad.   The Swedes scored late to bring the game to within one, but a dominant defensive effort from the Swiss side helped secure their well-deserved win in the 2024/25 Champions Hockey League Final.   Both netminders were excellent through the first 20 minutes, but an opportune moment near the end of the frame enabled the Swiss to break the deadlock when Andrighetto slid a loose puck between the pads of Maxime Lagacé to open the scoring at 17:48.    Dario Trutmann threw the initial shot on net as the puck ricocheted off several players before finding its way to the top of the blue paint where Andrighetto deposited the loose change to secure his ninth of the year.   Then in the second, it was Andrighetto again as the 31-year-old extended his club's lead with seven and a half to go in the middle frame.   Play developed as Denis Malgin skated the puck through neutral ice before dropping it off for Rudolfs Balcers who quickly dished it to Andrighetto in the near circle where he one-timed it past the Färjestad netminder to make it 2-0 in favour of the hosts.   The Swiss continued to put on a defensive clinic in the second, mitigating the Swedes' offensive pressure and minimising their high-danger chances.   Hrubec managed to turn aside all 20 Färjestad shots through the first two periods to keep his club's advantage heading into the third.   Still trailing by two, the Swedes were awarded their fourth powerplay of the night when Zurich's Malgin was called for Boarding at 50:59 and would make good on the ensuing man-advantage thanks to Per Åslund's second of the season and first since his goal on Game Day 1.   Off the face-off win, the puck found its way to David Tomášek who slid it towards the stick of Åslund who was parked at the top of the crease where he redirected it past Hrubec with less than ten minutes to play in regulation.   Desperate to find the equaliser, Färjestad pulled their netminder in the closing moments but Zurich's defence, spearheaded by Hrubec, pulled through as the Swiss fought off the Swedes' last-ditch effort to claim victory and be crowned European Club Champions.
