Ireland’s women recorded their first Pro League victory by defeating Australia 4–1 in Hobart. The debutants’ success supplied a breakthrough regulation result after earlier performances had already shown increasing competitiveness during their first campaign in the international league.
Australia’s men beat world champions Germany 3–2 in the same venue. The closely fought match featured physical play and several significant referrals, with the hosts protecting their advantage to preserve an unbeaten start to their season in front of the home crowd.
Later in Rourkela, Argentina defeated India 4–2. The hosts scored late to reduce the margin, but Argentina retained control of the result. The day’s official report kept the Irish milestone alongside the separate men’s matches across the two tournament stages.
