The Irish women's hockey team made history on Thursday evening when they beat India to qualify for the semi-finals of the World Cup.
Featuring in Ireland's win was Merrion's own Elena Tice. Club President Gerry Ormond said of Tice that "we in Merrion are particularly proud of our own Elena Tice who has been a major player in this team since she was first selected a few years ago."
He also added that "before she concentrated her sporting activities on hockey, Elena was a very succesful cricketer with Merrion and Ireland, Merrion's loss is Ireland's gain!"
Ireland will now play Spain in the Semi-Final of the World Cup on Saturday and we would like to wish Elena and her teammates the very best of luck.
