The Ireland Men’s Hockey Team, which includes Raphoe’s Luke Witherow, got their bid for FIH Hockey World Cup qualification off to a flying start with a 5-2 victory over Canada.
The side had to stave off a late Canada push, but goals from Lee Cole, Adam McAllister, Jonny Lynch and Jeremy Duncan were enough to secure a comfortable victory in Santiago.
Ireland are next in action on Tuesday, March 3, when they meet Korea at 14.15 Irish time.
