Hockey
The men’s hockey team have had a rough start to their Olympic campaign, narrowly defeated by India in their opening game and then losing to the Netherlands.
They will look to turn things round in their third game at 4.30 this evening – although they face tough opposition in champions Germany

Boxing
After the shock defeat of Paddy Barnes yesterday, the Irish boxers could do with a boost. David Oliver Joyce will hope to do just that when he fights in the men’s light (60kg) round of 16 at 9pm.
