Mr Browne has sent us his first update from his time in Tokyo for the Olympics. As the Assistant Coach to the GB Men’s Hockey Team, he has had a very exciting week!
‘After the 1st week we have played 4 games. We won against South Africa 3-1 and Canada 3-1. Lost to Germany 5-1 and drew with Holland 1-1. We have one more group game left vs Belgium who are the ranked no2 in the world. However, our results means that we have already qualified for the quarterfinals.
