Green Army 3-3 Spain
Two penalty corner goals within 2 minutes in the opening quarter gave Spain the ideal start in the second match of the series against Ireland.
Clara Ycart sent a drag flick low into the corner in the 9th minute and Alejandra Torres-Quevedo doubled the lead in the 11th minute with a tap in at the back post. The Irish defence absorbed a lot of Spanish pressure in the opening quarter but settled into the game as the half progressed. Hannah Matthews and Anna O’Flanagan linked up smartly to earn a short corner; Matthews then sent the sweep goalward for O’Flanagan to deflect past Maria Ruiz.
Katie Mullan drew her side level with an unconventional goal in the 34th minute. Sarah Hawkshaw blazed down the wing to send a high cross into the circle which Mullan batted down mid air to draw the initial save before slamming the rebound into the backboard on the volley. Both goalies were called on to make some strong saves as the end to end action continued at a frantic pace. Matthews gave the Green Army the lead from a powerful penalty corner sweep that caught the post player unawares and left Marina Helguera with no chance. Spain upped the pressure once more and Emma Buckley had to make some smart saves while Yvonne O’Byrne was on hand to poach more than a few Spanish attackers. But the hosts eventually broke through in the final minute of the fixture with a penalty corner sweep that was deflected in by Maria Lopez.

Adjustment is key to success
Great Britain men’s and women’s teams have departed for the other side of the world as they ‘follow the sun’ and prepare for their FIH Pro League encounters with New Zealand. For the Great Britain women’s team (FIH Hero World Ranking: 2), this is their opening FIH Pro League match. For Great Britain men (WR:7), they travel to Christchurch on the back of an incredible 6-5 victory over Spain (WR:9).
We caught up with women’s captain Hollie Pearne-Webb and men’s Head Coach, Danny Kerry.
The first thing the squads needed to cope with was the long travel, having endured a flight time of 31 hours to get to New Zealand. Both teams arrived in Christchurch with a week to overcome jet-lag but attention to detail is a shared mantra of the men’s and women’s squads. “We have put a lot of sport performance planning into our long distance travel,” says Pearne-Webb. “The result is that the team has adapted well and we are all really looking forward to our first game.”
It must have been difficult watching the other nations starting their campaigns? Pearne-Webb thinks this has added to the sense of expectation. “The group are really excited to get the Pro-League underway. It has actually been great watching the other matches. They have all shared their moments of drama and has proved anyone can beat anyone on the day. All teams seem to be going for it which is great and we will need to match that.”
The format of the FIH Pro League is a new experience for the Olympic gold medallist. “We are going from something like six matches in nine days to an one-off winner-takes-all match. Preparation for that has been different and no doubt when we get to match day it will feel different as well. “
Now ranked sixth in the world and hurting after home defeats at the hands of the Netherlands (WR:1) Belgium (WR: 13), New Zealand will be out to get their first Pro League points on the board.
Pearce-Webb says her team are alert to the danger. “New Zealand are quick and like to counter fast whenever possible. They have already played two Pro League games and so are now well up to speed with international games again. We will need to match this in our very first pro-league game. New Zealand are always tough opponents and we will need to bring our A game on Friday to get a result.”
Adjusting quickly to the demands of the FIH Pro League was something Great Britain men had to do very quickly in their opening match against Spain. They were 4-1 down at the end of the first quarter but put on an amazing comeback to win 6-5.
Starting slowly is not something Danny Kerry is likely to allow his team to do again. “We knew Spain were a very good team and only a set of circumstances had knocked them out of the World Cup early, which belied how good they really are.
“We knew the types of challenges they would throw at us, but knowing and being able to do are two different things. It took experiencing those things in the first quarter for us to be able to adjust. Fortunately we were able to turn around the deficit after the first quarter.”
So what of their next opponents? Things are always tight when the world number 7 and number 8 teams meet. “New Zealand have run both Belgium and the Netherlands very close in their recent Pro-League matches," says Kerry. "They have a well organised team with a set of skilful and dangerous athletes. Add in their home advantage and we will have to be at our very best to match them. It's going to be a tough. tough game.”

Tasmanian Trio Named In Kookaburras Team For Hobart Clash
Ben Somerford
Hockey Australia today confirms the 18-member Kookaburras team for this weekend’s FIH Pro League match against Germany at Hobart’s Tasmanian Hockey Centre.
The second-ranked Kookaburras will look to bounce back against sixth-ranked Germany from 3pm AEDT on Sunday, after a shootout loss to the Dutch and 4-1 defeat to world champions Belgium last round.
The Kookaburras have included three Tasmanians for the matches, with Joshua Beltz, Jack Welch and Eddie Ockenden who’ll skipper the side.
Kookaburras coach Colin Batch said: “Eddie will captain the team, Josh Beltz comes into the group and Jack Welch plays for the first time at home.
“It’s really exciting for those guys playing at home in Hobart. It’s an exciting venue, well supported, we’re looking to have a good game against Germany.”
There’s numerous changes to the 20-member team which played in Melbourne, with the group reduced to 18 players for the one-off match.
Matt Dawson, Jack Hayes, Flynn Ogilvie, Welch, Tom Wickham and Dylan Wotherspoon are all added. Wollongong midfielder Hayes, 24, is in line to make his international debut.
Daniel Beale, Tim Brand, Tom Craig, Aaron Kleinschmidt, Trent Mitton, Josh Simmonds, Matthew Swann and Corey Weyer all make way from the team that travelled to Melbourne.
Batch said the group was determined to respond after their first-up results against the Dutch and Belgians, who were the 2018 World Cup finalists.
“We’ve had two games under our belt now and even though we’ve changed the team around we expect our performance will be better in Hobart,” Batch said..
“It’ll be Germany’s first game of the FIH Pro League coming from their winter so hopefully we have an advantage.
“They’ve arrived well in time and they’re always a tough team to beat Germany. We didn’t get a chance to play them at the World Cup.
“I view the FIH Pro League as a good opportunity to play the best teams in the world and see where we sit ahead of the Tokyo Olympics.”
The Kookaburras will not play an official match on Saturday, but will partake in a 2x15-minute exhibition match from 3pm AEDT, followed by a clinic and fan engagement with autograph signings.

Syed Mohd Syafiq to miss rest of MHL due to injury
By Aftar Singh
KUALA LUMPUR: National defender Syed Mohd Syafiq Syed Cholan (pic) will not feature in the Malaysia Hockey League (MHL) anymore.
The 24-year-old Tenaga Nasional penalty corner drag flicker has aggravated his left wrist injury in the league last week and is set to take a long time to recover from his injury.
Syed Mohd Syafiq said he injured his wrist in the opening match against Holland in the World Cup in Bhubaneswar, India, last December.
“And last week, I aggravated it in the MHL, I’ve been feeling pain on and off during the league and I decided to look into it,” said Syed Mohd Syafiq.
“During my medical checkup, I was told by my doctor to rest for two weeks as I’ve a hairline fracture on my wrist.
“I don’t know whether I will be able to recover in the next few weeks as the league will be over by March 2,” he added.
He had hoped to play for Tenaga as he felt they had a good chance of winning the league title this year.
“We are only a point adrift of leaders Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL), who have 19 points from seven matches. If we beat them this weekend then we have a bright chance of winning our second title,” said Syed Mohd Syafiq.
Tenaga, who won the Tan Sri. P. Alagendra Cup last month, face UniKL on Sunday at the Tun Razak Stadium in Jalan Duta.
In the first-round match, UniKL came back from a goal down to beat Tenaga 3-1 at home in Bangi.
Tenaga coach Nor Saiful Zaini said it was sad that they would not have the services of the hard-working defender Syed Mohd Syafiq. He will be replaced by Muhd Arif Syafie Ishak.
“I’ve advised him to focus on full recovery as he is needed by the national team for international tournaments,” said Nor Saiful.
“I’ve faith in Arif and I’m optimistic that the youngster will be able to ply well as a defender.
“After playing seven matches, my forwards are still missing chances. They need to buck up in the last five matches if we hope to win the league title,” added Nor Saiful.
