Great Britain's women were hammered 5-0 in the first of five Test matches against Australia in Perth.

Casey Eastham opened the scoring after only five minutes when she bundled a well-worked penalty corner past the tourists' goalkeeper Katy Roberts.

Angie Lambert's penalty made it 2-0 before Eastham, Madonna Blyth and Megan Rivers all netted after the break.

The visitors will hope to improve as they continue their build-up to the Olympics in Saturday's second Test.

"Australia thoroughly deserved their victory," said GB head coach Danny Kerry. "It will be interesting to see how the whole squad and staff rally round in the remaining four Tests."
