Kookaburras held to 2-2 by Great Britain

The Australian men's hockey team have been held to a 2-all draw by Great Britain in the first of a three-match series held in regional Western Australia.

Shocking weather conditions delayed the beginning of the game by half an hour at Narrogin Hockey Stadium.

When things got underway Matt Gohdes went on to score the first goal of the match with a deflection, thanks to an excellent pass from Fergus Kavanagh.

Great Britain fought back early in the second quarter with a field goal from Simon Mantell in his 200th cap for the team.

The score remained deadlocked at halftime.

Great Britain got their first attempt on a penalty corner, and scored to take the lead thanks to the goal conversion by Iain Lewers.

Jamie Dwyer fought back for the Kookaburras, tying the score up at 51 minutes into the game with a penalty corner coasting into the net.
