HOCKEY
Great Britain's women went down 2-1 to China in the
first test at Bisham Abbey. Penalty corners proved the difference,
with the visitors scoring both of their corners and the hosts netting
only one of their six. Chinese captain Baorong Fu put her side ahead
after 14 minutes and Ye Ren's swinging flick from the top of the
circle doubled their advantage at the start of the second half |
