We faced off against the host country Malaysia last night. It was a tough battle, against the fast and skilful side.
We went up 1-0 early in to the game, with Kane Russell converting a penalty corner flick.
However, the Malaysian team were more accustomed to the conditions and it really showed in the second half- the game tempo from there shifted in to the Malaysians hands and they dictated play for the remainder of the game. We were lucky to hold them out for most of the game, due to excellent penalty corner defence. However, they scored with 4 minutes left on the clock from a penalty corner.
The result wasn't bad for us in the end, still managing to come away with one point.
We play Australia tomorrow which will be a tough encounter against our main rivals. The game kicks off at 4pm so it is going to be a real challenge for the boys playing in that heat.
