Heartbreak for IRL Women as they lose to Spain in FIH Nations Cup Final
SPAIN 2 IRELAND 0
Terressa Spain: Heartbreak for Ireland as they were beaten in the FIH Nations Cup Final by the hosts Spain. While it was a better showing than their Pool A opening match where Ireland were on the wrong end of a 5-1 scoreline, Ireland were unable to create worthwhile scoring opportunities when they mattered most and ultimately came up short. Given the last time they played in a Nations Cup tournament they went out at the semi-final stage it does mark progress but that will take a while to sink in after the disappointment of this result wears off.
