Ireland, Wales, Scotland and France are the quartet of teams who will battle to reach the final with the duo who reach Sunday’s showpiece earning qualification for the Hockey World League Semi-Finals later this year.

France secured their fourth straight win at the tournament in Northern Ireland as they made light work of Ukraine, finishing with a 11-2 victory, with braces from Etienne Tynevez, Charles Masson and Bliase Rogeau.

They will face Scotland in the semis after they overcame Austria after a penalty shoot-out.

The game had finished 5-5 with Alan Forsyth and Dominic Uher getting hat-tricks for their sides.

However, Scotland got the better in the shoot-out as they found the net with all four of their efforts while replacement goalkeeper David Forrester made two saves against the Austrians.

Ireland cruised through to the final four with a 5-1 success against Poland with a trio of goals in the second quarter putting the quarter-final to bed.

Wales will be their opponents in the final four as they defeated Italy 3-0 as Gareth Furlong scored a penalty corner before adding another from a penalty stroke.

Rupert Shipperley rounded off the win in the third quarter.

The semi-finals along with the fifth to eighth play-offs are set to take place on Saturday (March 18).
