IRELAND were represented in men's hockey at the Olympics after all last night.

Dubliner Ray O'Connor was in charge of the final between Holland and Australia which the latter won 2-1 with a 'golden goal.'

Not for the first time in his illustrious career, O'Connor was involved in a little bit of controversy as the Dutch players hotly disputed the award of a penalty corner in the last minute of the first period of extra time.

Jamie Dwyer put it away as the men from Down Under took gold for the first time.

Meanwhile, Banbridge beat North Down 4-0 with a hat-trick from Ross McCandless and another goal from Eugene Magee in their opening game of the pre-season tournament at Havelock Park last night.
