It was the perfect start to the fixture for John Jermyn, retiring from the Green Machine following tonight’s match, as he added to his record haul with his 93rdinternational goal. A penalty corner won by Peter Caruth in the 4thminute saw Jermyn slot one of his trade mark drag flicks into the corner to give his side the lead. A couple of chances quickly followed for Ireland as Jonny Bell sent a crash ball into the circle and Chris Cargo evaded his marker to send a reverse shot wide. Charles Masson had the first chance for France as he sent a ball towards the top corner but it flew wide. David Harte got an important touch as Jean-Laurent Kieffer passed the ball across goal but Harte’s touch knocked it away from the two awaiting strikers on the back post. France won 3 penalty corners of their own but a couple of mistraps and a superb save off the line by Stuart Loughrey meant Ireland went into half time 1-0 up.
