Ireland suffered a heavy 6-0 defeat to Holland in their latest match at the Women's Hockey World Cup in Perth.
The Irish have yet to post a point from their four matches and remain rooted to the bottom of Pool B.
They were in touch with the Dutch at half-time, trailing to Mijnte Donners' penalty corner goal.
But a nine-minute spell just after the interval saw Miek van Geenhuizen, Fatima Moreira de Melo, Macha van der Vaart, Aniek van Hees and Ageeth Boomgaardt score to see the Dutch pull away.
