-

THE Kookaburra­s have suffered their second setback in their FIH Pro League hockey campaign with a shock 4-3 penalty shootout loss to Great Britain in London. League leaders Australia twice came from behind with goals from Jake Harvie and Tim Bland cancelling out strikes from the hosts’ Zach Wallace and Chris Griffiths to secure a 2-2 draw at fulltime on Sunday. But Blake Govers and Daniel Beale were both denied by England keeper George Pinner from the penalty spot in the upset.
