The match began with both teams trying to settle into a rythm and
there was no serious challenge in the first 10 min by either
team.  Kerly then broke through from the left and earned a free 
hit just outside the Indian D when he was checked but the hit 
wasn't taken properly. Shortly after that GB earned its 1st PC 
when an ineffective clearnace from the Indian rt. back saw GB 
take possession on top of the D, followed by a swift pass into 
the D and then a foul by one of the Indian players. The PC was 
converted by Hill when he sent in a strong flick into the middle 
of the net.  India counter-attacked and earned a PC but it was 
saved  by the GB goalkeeper. India earned a 2nd PC following a 
move b/w Jagbir Singh and Shakeel Ahmed on the lt. flank but 
could not capitalize on it. Just before half-time India earned a 
third PC but a poorly executed attempt to flick the ball in saw 
another opportunity go down. Half-time 1-0 to GB.

The second half started at a fast pace and once again Murgesh 
Kumar and Felix combined well on the rt. for Murgesh to send in a 
beautiful cross from the Gb baseline but none of the 3 forwards 
could take advantage of it. Two substitutions; one each by India 
and GB. Free hit on the left side near the GB D was taken by 
Pargat and Pillay connected but the shot was saved. Another move 
from the rt. won a long corner for India. Pargat's strong hit 
into the GB D was deflected off a GB player's stick and Felix 
quickly picked up the free ball and with a strong push sent it 
across into the left corner of the goal. 1-1. Kerly then broke 
through taking advantage of a defensive lapse but his shot missed 
the left post by inches. GB then reversed the pressure. The rt 
winger managed to get past the Indian backs and pass it to Kerly 
who deflected it into the far side of the goal as the GK came out 
to meet the GB forward. 2-1 to GB. Another burst from the rt 
flank for GB and the ball was passed to Thompson who was left 
unmarked and he swiftly put the ball into the roof of the goal. 
3-1 to GB and 8-10 min of play left. The Indians then missed 
another PC, their 4th. A 5th PC was awarded to India but with 
only 1 1/2 min remaining India had lost the match. The 5th PC led 
to another PC and that to yet another one but the hooter sounded 
before it could be taken. Final score GB 3, India 1.

unlikely that I will be back soon. Thanks.]
