Aussies find late winner

AUSTRALIA confirmed their reputation as comeback kings at the Men’s Hockey World League in Johannesburg with a 2-1 win over New Zealand.

Jared Panchia finished off a move on 39 minutes to put the Kiwis ahead in the Pool A clash at the University of the Witwatersrand.

The never-say-die spirit of an Australian team in transition surfaced during the final quarter.

Josh Pollard struck the winning goal off a penalty corner with 38 seconds remaining.
