Great Britain men met Argentina in the first of two test matches at Lilleshall this afternoon.
Ignacio Bergner opened the scoring from a penalty corner, taking Argentina into a 1-0 lead at half time, but goals from Darren Cheesman and Richard Smith, both of whom were earning their first caps for Great Britain, put the hosts in front until the 67th minute, when Lucas Rossi equalised. Final score 2-2.
