Australia Hockey into Youth Olympic Games Gold Medal Match at Nanjing

Congrats to the Aust YOG Hockey Team and Corey Weyer from GCHA who have secured a Finals berth tonight. The green and gold are one step closer to claiming the Youth Olympic Games gold medal after beating South Africa in tonight’s semi-final.

It was a defence orientated game with both sides showing great determination and composure to hold out each other on numerous occasions.

Australia held on with four men in the last seconds to win 4-3 and square the ledger with the opposition after South Africa beat them in a pool match.
