Hockey men stage stirring comeback

8:31pm Sunday 5th August 2012 in Sport By Andy Naylor

Britain's hockey men produced an amazing fightback from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 with the world No. 1 Australians at the Riverbank Arena tonight.

Russell Ford put Australia in command with two goals in the opening 11 minutes.

And it looked all over when captain Mark Knowles increased their lead early in the second half.

Jonty Clarke gave GB hope and captain Barry Middleton, one of four East Grinstead players in the side, made it 3-2 from a well-worked penalty corner with 17 minutes left.

The comeback was complete when James Tindall's shot deflected in off the stick of Australian Liam De Young five minutes from time, the goal standing after a video referral.
