Jame Dougall hopes gold medal success at Rio Games will inspire young hockey players

You should never drink and tweet. I did while watching the women's hockey final and, although their gold medal win over world number one Holland was an incredible achievement, it didn't warrant the tear-stained gushing that I gave it on social media!

However, I've played hockey since I was 11, always loved the game and there's not much coverage of it outside the Olympics. So I could be forgiven for blubbing onto my tablet after watching a British team, not just get to the final but win it too.   

And yes, Team GB won on penalties! No matter whether you're English, Welsh, Scottish or Northern Irish - we know how seldom that happens with our team sports. So when Hollie Webb scored that last one, I nearly kicked the wine over, jumping up and down as much as she was.
