IAS Graduate Blake Govers scored as Australia dominated Pakistan at the Azlan Shah Cup. The competition started immediately, with both teams going out hard to become the first to get a goal on the scoreboard. Although the game was fierce in the first quarter, both teams failed to score with the Pakistan defence doing a great job of keeping the Kookaburras’ fighting attack at bay. Going into the second quarter on an even playing field, chances to score were missed by the Australian team until the 24th minute of the game when Blake Govers managed to convert a penalty corner to the scoreboard. At half-time Australia led the Pakistan team 1-0. Into the third quarter and some early shots at goal were missed, but Tom Craig brought it back for Australia in the 41st minute. Just one minute later, and Jamie Dwyer flicked it into the net for another field goal taking Australia’s lead up to 3-0. With their confidence back after two goals in the third quarter the Kookaburras eased to victory.
