Sean Dancer’s still face tough task to qualify in final pool game against hosts Germany

Photograph: Frank Uijlenbroek/InphoA superb 5-0 win over Scotland at the EuroHockey Championships in Mönchengladbach on Saturday has kept Ireland’s hopes of progressing to the semi-finals of the tournament alive.
But Ireland, now at 13 in the world list, will take no little confidence in to that game after a clinical performance against the Scots, three second-quarter goals all but deciding the tie. Hannah McLoughlin opened the scoring with a smart finish after she had been picked out in the circle by Sarah Hawkshaw, Ellen Curran doubling the lead within a minute following a driving run by Michelle Carey down the right. And it was 3-0 by half-time when Niamh Carey drilled home a pass from her twin sister Michelle.
A fourth-quarter double from Sarah Torrans rounded off an emphatic victory, her second the pick of the two when she finished cooly after being set free by Deirdre Duke.
