Britain claim South Africa draw
Hockey
Great Britain's men maintained their unbeaten record in the tri-nations tournament with a 1-1 draw against hosts South Africa.

Surbiton's Matt Daly put GB ahead in the 29th minute, diving in to score after a flowing move involving club colleagues Ben Hawes and Rob Moore.

However, Tsolekille Lungi equalised in the 56th minute for South Africa.

And GB had to survive the last 10 minutes a man down after Glenn Kirkham was sin-binned.

"We played better in the second half after a fairly scrappy first half," said manager Pete Nicholson.

"We're getting towards the end of a long tour now and the guys are getting tired, but the work we've put in here will stand us in good stead for the Olympic qualifiers in March."

Britain will play Canada in their final match on 16 January.

GB have now recorded two draws with South Africa while they defeated Canada 5-1 on Sunday.
