John Dennis, Chairman of the Irish Hockey Association said, "We are delighted that KPMG have come on board as one of our Corporate Champion sponsors, directly channelling their support into our athlete support programme, ASPIRE. We are very proud to be associated with a company that displays such strong commitment to excellence, quality and professionalism - values that are extremely important to both the Irish Hockey Association and its athletes."

Any idea how much is being sponsored to the association?
What is the amount of relief that is given to the internationals these days to make up for time lost in work, expenses etc.?
The IHA may want to put together a good package if they want to keep the older lads (26+) until London 2012.
Thats if we have any chance of qualifying for London 2012! Passmore out Craig Fulton in!
Obviously I mean the campaign to qualification...
Fulton in? And prepare for a Pembroke/Ireland squad.

Arul would be a perfect seniour irish coach. hes a genious
