We’re joined by Elizabeth Murphy, who is not only part of the first Irish women’s field hockey team at the Olympics, her squad is the first female Olympic team of any kind for the Emerald Isle! Canadian field hockey has been overshadowed by its icy cousin in domestic sports culture, but gained momentum in hot conditions and the game’s multicultural appeal are nothing to shake a stick at.
