Watching hockey refs trying to communicate through their ear pieces, in their second language, while a techno disco blasts out of the PA, makes great telly .

Should be a sport in itself.

[Stargazer]

Damn, Japan scores.

[Stargazer]

Yess, the Black Sticks score! 1 all

[Stargazer]

And they score another one!!

The Black Sticks lead 2 - 1!

[Stargazer]

Half time score: Black Sticks women 2 - 1 Japan

[Stargazer]

Great defence from the Black Sticks; the Japanese not able - thus far - to convert penalty corners into points.

We are down one in the bin for 5 minutes

[Stargazer]

Are they always so quick to show cards in hockey?

I dunno, I only watch at Oly and Comm games time! The Japanese girl was away and running so fair enough I guess

[Stargazer]

Still 2 - 1 to the Black Sticks at the end of the 3rd quarter.

[canefan]

We need another goal to give us some breathing space

[canefan]

We are getting clumsy. Japan making the running right now

[Stargazer]

We're lucky that Japan have not scored of single penalty corner.

I find it so stupid in hockey that a team can get a penalty corner by hitting the ball against an opposition player's ankle.

[Stargazer]

Good use of the referral.

[Stargazer]

Yesss, the Black Sticks win again! Close and entertaining game.

Full time score: NZL 2 - 1 Japan
