The Team GB men’s hockey team continued their build-up to Beijing 2008 with a 3-2 win over New Zealand in a training match in Hong Kong last night (Thursday).
Barry Middleton opened the scoring for Britain from a Jonty Clarke penalty corner on 22 minutes, but Ryan Archibald cancelled out the advantage from the penalty spot five minutes later.
Simon Mantell restored GB’s lead just before the break, diving at the right post to direct the ball into the net from an Ashley Jackson pass.
Archibald levelled the scores again five minutes after the break, but Simon Mantell scored the decisive gold – his second and the team’s third – from close range on 53 minutes.
