THE first Test between a new-look South Africa men’s hockey team and Austria got off to a perfect start at Queensmead in Durban yesterday evening and a 1-1 draw in this exciting encounter has set up the remaining three Tests during the week to bring further high-quality action.
There was much to enthuse during this high-energy encounter and it was heart-warming to see the slew of SA debutants looking at home in the cut-and-thrust of world-level hockey.
