Ireland’s women’s hockey team have unveiled their new Samurai match and off-field kits.
The team used their final training session at University College Dublin before flying to Chile to begin preparations for their World Cup qualifying tournament to showcase the kit.
Commenting on the new partnership, Angus Kirkland, chief executive of the Irish Hockey Association, said: “We are delighted to announce formally our partnership with Samurai Sportswear.
