South Africa push England Hockey Team all the way in a pulsating Bronze Medal Match at Birmingham
South Africa pushed the English all the way in a pulsating Bronze Medal Match at Birmingham but the hosts sealed it with a professional second-half display to put the South African challenge to bed.

The vastly experienced South African followed New Zealand’s Aaron Gate over the line in 3hr 28min 29sec after a cat-and-mouse affair over the 160km route, and a race in which pre-race favourite Mark Cavendish was trapped early in the peloton and lost contact with the front groups as the lead regularly changed hands.
