Gavin Bourke from Mallow, Co Cork, starred in Team Ireland's 3-0 victory by scoring two goals in the medal match, incorporating an entertaining celebration inspired by the racing festival at Cotswolds. His playful celebration, where he mounted his floorball stick, was a nod to both his girlfriend’s sense of humor and the recent success at Cheltenham. His teammate, Joe-Joe Sheehan, also scored and claimed the player of the match award. The team is excited to return to Dublin with bronze medals, hoping for a euphoric homecoming later.
"My girlfriend made a joke with me before the thing started, she said you have to put out a celebration if you score... I said, 'do you know what - I'm going to hop on the horse and ride the saddle to victory'."
"They gave all guts and got all the glory. We're going to be bringing the medal home on Sunday to Dublin and see the rest of the country cheer us on."
"The celebrations when we get home will be massive. When we get off that plane, the supporters will go mad - and I mean mad."
