FIH Nations Cup: Wales held to South Africa draw despite Jack Pritchard treble

Advertisements

Wales had to settle for a 4-4 draw against South Africa in their FIH Nations Cup opener in Malaysia despite a first-half hat-trick from Jack Pritchard.

Wales looked on course for victory after Pritchard’s treble and a further goal from Jolyon Morgan put them 4-0 up at the halfway stage.

But South Africa then turned the contest on its head, making it 4-2 in the third quarter thanks to goals from Trevor de lora and Angelo Walstroom and then completing a spectacular fightback through a penalty stroke from Samuel Mvimbi and a late effort from Calvin Davis.

The draw means Wales have won only once in 11 meetings with South Africa.

Danny Newcombe’s Wales side play Korea next on Monday before completing their pool fixtures against France on Wednesday.

Wales’ women are also in action this week. They take on Italy in the FIH Hockey Women’s Nations Cup 2 in Poland on Monday before games against Czech Republic on Tuesday and France on Thursday.
