They did fantastic, as Ian Wright would say. No facilities..........having to travel from Bangor, Co Down and other such places in the depths of winter to meet up....we often use population as an excuse for mediocrity and rewarded it in the past. Give them their dues lads....they are amateurs whereas the Dutch are paid pros.
Uruguay has won 2 world cups and has fewer people than us.......we need a proper national sport .....HOCKEY it might be.
