The amazing odyssey of Women Hockey World Cup 2018 ended on 5th August with a fierce battle between Ireland and Netherlands. And the last match ended with the glorious victory of Netherlands by the score of 6-0.
Not only the last match, but the whole tournament of Women Hockey World Cup 2018 is worth remembering for a long time, much like Fifa world cup 2018. It was as breathtaking as the soccer world cup.
“Lidewij Welten, Kelly Jonker, Kitty van Male, Malou Pheninckx, Marloes Keetels and Caia van Maasakker scored for the Netherlands, who extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 32 matches”, tells the reports of BBC. What Ireland got, after its defeat but a stupendous performance is a new fandom and a higher level in the world top 10 rankings for the first time.
Ireland head coach Graham Shaw remarked, "A big learning curve today and maybe a step too far against an out-standing side but we can be so proud to stand here and say we came second in the world and when the girls reflect back they will look on an astonishing, remarkable achievement."
So no matter that Netherland is the new Women Hockey world champion, both the teams made their respective countries equally proud.
