Britain On The Brink Of Olympics

Sun 09 Mar, 12:24 AM


Great Britain will play India in a winner-takes-all final at the Olympic qualifying tournament in Chile on Saturday after defeating third-placed Austria 4-0.

James Tindall capitalised on a defensive mistake to put Britain ahead after five minutes and Ashley Jackson's stunning solo effort doubled the lead (12).

Richard Mantell converted a penalty corner to make it three 10 minutes later and Rob Moore added late gloss to the scoreline with a fourth to make it five wins out of five.

Britain beat India 3-2 with a last-minute goal on Thursday, and manager Pete Nicholson believes his team can repeat the result to secure their place in Beijing.

"There's a good feeling about the game," he said. "This is what we've been working so hard for. We're ready, and it's game on."
