Hockey: Ireland, well beaten by England in yesterday's first game, recorded their first win of the World Cup qualifying tournament in China with a 2-1 victory over Canada.
Stephen Butler put them ahead a minute before half-time with a low penalty corner strike but the lead lasted until just three minutes after the interval.
Michael Lee deflected in Peter Short's powerful cross from the right to draw Canada level but Mark Gleghorne smashed home a reverse-stick shot in the 42nd minute for the deciding goal.
Ireland then lost Cork Harlequins' Mark Black to the sin bin for a bad tackle but they held on despite some late pressure from Canada.
