Hockeyroos storm into World League final

The Hockeyroos have beaten England 3-0 to reach the final of the World League women's hockey tournament in Argentina.

The Hockeyroos have stormed into the final at the women's World League hockey tournament with 3-0 win over England in their semi-final in Tucuman, Argentina.

Australia dominated throughout and will now will face the winner of the second semi-final between the Netherlands and host nation Argentina as they battle to become the inaugural World League champions.

The Hockeyroos scored first from a disputed penalty corner goal by Jodie Schulz three minutes before the interval.

England immediately called for a video review and despite one angle appearing to show the ball deflecting in off the thigh of Hockeyroo Teneal Attard the goal was allowed to stand.

Two minutes after half-time Georgie Parker converted in a goalmouth scramble and Karrie McMahon added the third goal from a penalty corner within four minutes.

Had it not been for goalkeeper Maddie Hinch the score could have been greater with England's best chance falling to Alex Danson late in the second half but her vicious reverse-stick half-volley was batted away by Ashlee Wells.
