Patrick Brown becomes Ireland's Most Capped Hockey Player
Saturday 9 February will see SINI athlete Patrick Brown become Ireland�s most capped international hockey player.
The Instonians defender, and current Irish captain, will overtake the 149 caps held by a previous Irish captain, and fellow Ulsterman, Martin Sloan who was a mainstay of the Irish side from the mid 1980s to the mid 1990s.
Saturday�s game is arguably the most important of those 150 games. Patrick will line up to play Argentina in Ireland�s final group game of the Olympic Games Qualifying tournament knowing a victory by 2 goals is probably required to keep his personal ambition of participating at an Olympic Games alive.
