GREAT BRITAIN’S teams face uphill tasks this weekend in the Netherlands, with both the men and women losing in Belgium in the FIH Pro League on Thursday.

The injury-hit Olympic champion women have not been able to count on Rio gold medallists Lily Owsley — so influential when Britain beat Belgium in London two weeks ago — and Susannah Townsend in the Low Countries and went down 4-1 in Antwerp, with Sarah Robertson scoring for GB.

The men then lost 4-2 to the world champions, with Phil Roper and Luke Taylor on the scoresheet for Danny Kerry’s team, who failed to turn around a 4-0 half-time deficit
