Similar to Thursday’s fixture, Ireland got the scoreboard ticking early in the fixture. Shane O’Donoghue was waiting on the penalty spot for John Jackson’s pass following a superb run along the baseline and pushed the ball past Corentin Saunier. The Green Machine almost doubled their lead minutes later as Conor Harte’s penalty corner drag drew a great low stick save from Saunier. Jamie Carr made an equally good save from Victor Charlet’s drag in the next phase. Maximilien Branicki and Tom Genestet forced a goal mouth scramble but Paul Gleghorne was on hand to clear the danger before they could get a shot off. O’Donoghue doubled his tally in the 25thminute with a low drag flick that went straight through Tom Genestet on the left post to give the Green Machine a 2-0 lead going into half time.
