GB's men suffer heavy defeat to Australia as hockey mini-series is tied

Great Britain's men suffer a heavy 6-1 defeat to Australia, who draw the hockey series 1-1.

Great Britain's men have failed to claim victory over Australia in their two-Test hockey series following a heavy 6-1 defeat.

The team were 1-0 up in the series after Saturday's 3-1 triumph, but Australia fought back two days later to claim a convincing win at Bisham Abbey.

Chris Griffiths scored the only goal for GB, while Chris Ciriello, Simon Orchard, Blake Govers, Jamie Dwyer and Aran Zalewski all got on the scoresheet for the Aussies.

The British team will now turn their attention to the World League semi-final in Belgium, which also serves as a qualifier for the Rio 2016 Olympics.
