We have just had a two game winning streak!! 1st v Korea where we beat them 3-0, and then last night beating India 2-0.
The boys have been growing in confidence and morale throughout the tournament and these games were a display of our grit and determination.
The other results in the tournament have worked out in our favour too. The ball is in our court to make the final- if we have a win against Australia tomorrow it will put us through.
Talking to Dean Cousins after the match yesterday, he has only beaten Aussie once, drawing a couple and losing far too many! So tomorrow is one of redemption for him and maybe one for the record books.
