Ireland’s men face a must win game against Argentina on Thursday if they are to keep alive their hopes of reaching the Olympic hockey quarter-finals.A third straight defeat, 2-0, to India, coupled with Argentina’s 2-0 win over New Zealand has left Ireland and New Zealand with no points after three games and lying outside of the four qualifying places in Pool B.Two first half goals from Harmanpreet Singh, who converted an early penalty stroke after a foul by Shane O’Donoghue and then a late penalty corner, were enough in a game that Ireland contributed much to but couldn’t score.Meanwhile Team GB, captained by Cookstown’s David Ames, held the world number one side, Netherlands, to a 2-2 draw.GB are third in Pool A with five points from three games, two behind the Dutch and a win against bottom side France on Thursday would secure a place in the knockout stages.
