Ireland secure win over Canada
Ireland's women's hockey team made it two wins out of two in the Olympic qualifying tournament in Victoria by beating hosts Canada 2-0 on Sunday.
Cathy McKean celebrated winning her 100th cap by deflecting Nikki Symmons' drag flick into the roof of the net.
Randalstown's Clare Parkhill doubled the lead in the 20th minute when she received the slip ball and bulleted a shot past the goalkeeper.
Ireland goalkeeper Mary Goode made a number of fine saves for her side.
Ireland had defeated Malaysia 3-0 in their opener on Saturday and now face Uruguay in their next fixture on Tuesday, before taking on Korea and Italy.
Parkhill, Eimear Cregan and McKean were the scorers in the win over Malaysia.
