BBC to show final Olympic qualifier

Great Britain Hockey is delighted to confirm that the BBC will be showing GB in the final of the crucial Olympic Qualifiers LIVE on Sunday evening.
The match, which is scheduled to start at 2100hrs GMT, will be shown via their digital red-button platform and will feature Great Britain. Their opponents have not yet been confirmed and will not be until Saturday evening when the last set of round-robin matches will take place in Santiago, Chile.
The British boys are undefeated in the tournament from which only one team can qualify for the Olympics in Beijing later this year. They began their qualifying campaign with an 11-0 thrashing of Mexico and then went on to put eight past Russia before beating hosts Chile 4-1 on Tuesday. Last night saw them overcome their biggest rivals, India winning 3-2 in the last minute of the game with a goal from Surbiton striker Rob Moore.
However, they have to win the final match on Sunday if they are to book the one available place to Beijing.
