Fri 18 Apr, 02:09 PM


Great Britain's men have been handed a tough draw alongside defending champions Australia and runners-up Holland at this summer's Beijing Olympics.

The two pools were organised on world rankings and with GB eighth, having booked their place in China via a qualifying tournament in Chile last month, they face three teams rated above them.

Australia, who are also World Cup silver medallists, are ranked second and Holland, the reigning European champions, third with Pakistan (sixth), South Africa (13th) and Canada (15th) making up the rest of the group.

The other pool sees world champions Germany pitted against European silver medallists Spain, Korea, New Zealand, Belgium and China.
