Aussies blank Aurobindo

The Australians went ahead midway through the first half, when Danile Brennan scored on a pass from the left by Aaron Oman. The visitors forced five penalty corners in the first half, but were denied by an alert Aurobindo goal-keeper Dharminder, on a couple of occasions.

Aurobindo missed two clear chances in the first session.The second session was a midfield drab, with the teams unable to find the target after initiating moves. However, the Australians managed to takeadvantage of the tiring Aurobindo defenders to make it 2-0 through Luke Kilmartin. Dharminder was done in by the bad bounce resulting from the patch-work inside the circle.

And, even as Aurobindo resigned themselves to defeat, the Australians pumped in one more as Phil Forostenko scored in a melee.
