Dylan helps Burras win
THE Kookaburras bounced back to their best with an important 4-2 win against Germany at the FIH Pro League in Hobart yesterday.
And veteran Hockeyroos keeper Rachel Lynch was the hero as Australia’s women downed Germany 3-1 in a shootout (2-2 after full-time).
Second-half goals to Tom Wickham and Tweed Coast’s Dylan Wotherspoon sealed the Kookaburras’ victory after the sides had been locked at 2-2 after rookie Jacob Anderson’s first-half double.
Having lost and drawn the previous weekend, Australia needed the three points to keep in touch with early competition leader Britain.
“It’s good to get two goals and we turned it around from last weekend,” Anderson, who was player of the match, said.
The Germans, playing their first match in this new international tournament, tired late in the game and had a goal disallowed that would have made it 3-3.
