Ireland 0 South Africa 6
The misery continued today for the Irish women's hockey team who suffered their seventh consecutive defeat at the World Cup in Perth, Australia.
Ireland were on the receiving end of a 6-0 thumping by South Africa this time, a result which leaves them firmly rooted to the bottom of Pool B without a point.
All that remains for the Irish women is two more games in the play-offs to determine the lowly (13th-16th) places in the tournament.
Pool A:Ukraine 2 Germany 5, Korea 6 Scotland 2, Russia 0 Argentina 1, China 2 New Zealand 0
Pool B:England 3 Spain 0, Netherlands 5 USA 2, Ireland 0 South Africa 6, Australia 1 Japan 1
