THIS AFTERNOON, IRELAND’S men’s hockey team took to the pitch to play Germany in their third match of the tournament.
But before play got underway, both teams had to stand for their respective national anthems. Only problem? There was no music meaning that both teams had to perform acapella.
Instead of lipsyncing or mumbling, Ireland gave a very, shall we say, spirited rendition of Amhrán na bhFiann…
No backing track needed here. @RTE2 #Olympics2016 #rterio2016 Come on Ireland! #hockey them! pic.twitter.com/f23eyYmhWu

JJJJJooooooeeeeeeeeeeee(seph) DUFFFFFFAAAAAAYYYYYY!
haha!
Duffy is going to be big, last man to beat McGregor and Parke, that KO in his last fight was world class.
Delighted to see Catherine Costigan get a mention. Extremely talented fighter. Nice person too!
What about Neill Seery?
Genuine question, why isn’t Neill Seery someone to watch in 2015?
He’s not there due to getting to the UFC I would say…
Kieran O Brien junior doesn’t make list??
Henry Fadipe, won and lost the EFC welterweight belt last year, but changing gyms this year so I’ll be interested to see how he gets on! Big ko power.
Kieran O Brien Jnr .
Did Fields get dropped from Cage Warriors?
Nope
