GB women secure 2016 Olympics place with victory over Germany in World League

Great Britain's women's hockey team have secured their place in the Rio 2016 Olympics following their 1-0 victory over Germany in the semi-finals of the World League.

Lily Owsley scored the only goal of the game after seven minutes as she finished off a good team move, which also involved Helen Richardson-Walsh and Sophie Bray.

Germany pushed late in the match to level the scores but Team GB held out for the victory to earn a place in the final of the World League, and with it automatic qualification for the Olympics next year.

Goalkeeper Maddie Hinch told BBC Sport: "Words can't really describe the feeling. To reach a final and book a spot at Rio, we can't be happier."

Great Britain take on China in the final in Valencia on Sunday.
