All at Muckross are deeply saddened by the passing of our great legend and honorary life member Joan Priestman. She’s been a member of Muckross since 1947 and has been a passionate supporter of the game. We’ll miss her great personality and knowledge on the sidelines of Muckross.
The women’s hockey was cinematic anyway, genuinely believe I might have died in the Energia Park and it’s just my shaken spirit that’s found it s way home. What a way to qualify. C’mon Tokyo!
