BRIGHT START BUT DULL FINISH IN SPAIN

Great Britain's women played the first of a three match series against Spain this afternoon. Fielding a largely experimental side, Danny Kerry's women got off to a bright start after Rebecca Herbert found the net within the first three minutes. But this was to be GB's one and only goal of the match. A 16th minute field goal and an overtime penalty corner took GB into the second half 2-1 down and a second half goal sealed the match for the Spanish. Final score 3-1 to Spain:

GB Team: Ashleigh Ball, Hayley Brown, Holly Cram, Harriet Cunningham, Gemma Darrington, Beckie Herbert, Carys Hopkins, Nikki KIdd, Kirsty Mackay, Emily Maguire, Louise Munn, Anne Panter, Chloe Rogers, Natalie Seymour, Chloe Strong, and Kerry Williams.

GB's next match against Spain in tomorrow (Wednesday).
