BLEBY CLEARANCE GIVES GB SPANISH DRAW

Great Britain drew the second of the two match test series against Spain in Terrassa this evening. David Alegre opened the scoring for Spain and the match went into the break with the Spanish holding the one goal advantage. Shortly after the restart Rob Moore scored to put the sides on terms. Alex Fabregas grabbed the opportunity to restore the Spanish lead but in the dying minutes of the match Jonty Clarke found the net to equalise. GB had a scare in the last minute when defender Jon Bleby was able to clear the ball off the line but the match ended at 2-2.

Both Great Britain men’s and women’s teams are next in action at the Setanta Trophy in Dublin, starting on Wednesday. TalkHockeyRadio will be there with regular daily updates and photographs.
