The Men’s Hockey Competition at Riverbank Arena will kick start on the 30th of July, Monday. 2nd Match of the day and First from Pool A, will be played between current World Champions and #1 team in the FIH World Ranking – Australia and the lowest ranked team in the current competition – South Africa in morning session at Riverbank Arena.
Kookaburras (Australia) have played against South Africa 3 times in Olympics and won twice and drawn once. The last Olympic match between Australia and South Africa was played in Beijing Olympics in 2008, where the Kookaburras outclassed the Springbocks (RSA) with a 10-0 victory.
If the Australians will win gold it will be historic, as they will be the first nation to ever hold the maximum number of FIH world ranking points and then there would be no argument that this is a team of supreme champions.
A four-time Olympian and former Kookaburras captain, Charlesworth’s best result was silver at the Montreal Games in 1976 and he later went on to have a decorated career as coach of the Australian women’s team, the Hockeyroos. For Australia, it’s Victorian Chris Ciriello who was named in the Australian outfit as the number one drag flicker. Other players to watch include Tasmanian Eddie Ockenden and Dwyer’s brother-inlaw Mark Knowles.
Charlesworth has named five co-captains for the Olympics; Dwyer, Ockenden, Knowles, Fergus Kavanagh and Liam De Young and it’s hoped they will all lead Australia to a win in each of the pool matches.
An outstanding group of athletes is led by none other than five-time World Player of the Year Jamie Dwyer and South Africa simply don’t have the class to match the world’s best. The African nation is ranked 12th and finished last at the Beijing Games four years ago. Despite improving and winning the African Cup of Nations six times, against the hockey powerhouses, there’s a long way to go.
The Kookaburras will have to be on their guard on defensive penalty corners however, with Justin Reid Ross considered one of the best at executing this skill.
