With the Ireland - England game over and done with on Thursday, it was interesting (if only slight!) to pay attention to what Ireland's goalkeepers were wearing. And Obo seems to be it, which actually put the the three out of four goalkeepers (including both choices for each team) in Obo; Patrick Smith also being sponsored by Obo, wearing almost the exactly same set-up as Fitzgerald actually as both prefer the Mercian Ultimate rhp for its hybrid technical uses (as this photo illustrates link).
West was in TK softie leg guards and kickers a while ago so the change to Obo is worth making note of. Both Irish goalkeepers were also wearing Obo's elbow guards; the current ones as opposed to the ones Kyle Pontifex was using at the London Olympics and others have been trialing.
Great photos to demonstrate what's just be written, by none other than Peter Savage as ever. Wasn't able to get to the game myself, so only able to go by photographic evidence!
