Proud to be Irish.
In just a few minutes, the Ireland women’s hockey team will do what they have never done before – compete in a world cup final.
The stage has been set, the teams have been made all that remains now is the game itself.
Standing between the Girls In Green and history is the mighty Dutch. The Netherlands are the number one ranked team in the world and have been heavy-favourites to win the tournament outright.
Regardless of the result, it’s been a fantastic campaign for Ireland. The entire country has been riding an emotional rollercoaster for the duration of the tournament.
The stunning promo RTE have released ahead of the game really sums up the mood of the nation. Check it out below.
