Luck not on Great Britain's side in defeat against Netherlands
Great Britain 0-1 Netherlands by Ben Saunders at Lee Valley
Anna Toman

GREAT BRITAIN halfback Anna Toman encapsulated her frustration as her side went down to a last-gasp winner from world champions the Netherlands on Saturday in this FIH Pro League clash after having two goals disallowed themselves.

Toman herself was a key figure in Britain putting the ball in the net within the game’s first few minutes. 

Hannah Martin exploited hockey’s self-pass rule brilliantly, taking a free hit herself before the Dutch defence had a chance to regroup, passing wide to Laura Unsworth, who, in turn, found Toman.
