Ashleigh Ball put GB's women on course for another hockey victory at the Riverbank Arena tonight.

The Brighton-born midfielder opened the scoring against Belgium in the 31st minute with an angled drive, her sixth international goal in 74 appearances.

Laura Bartlett doubled the lead early in the second half with a reverse shot at the far post and Crista Cullen made it 3-0 from a late penalty corner.

The win followed previous victories over Japan and South Korea and leaves GB in the driving seat to bag one of the semi-final places from their group with two games to go.
