Aussies triumph

AUSTRALIA became the first team to win the Champions Trophy men's field hockey tournament four straight times when it beat Spain 1-0 in yesterday's final in Auckland. Eddie Ockenden crashed a penalty corner into the top-left corner of the Spanish net in the 59th minute to give the world champion Australians their 11th win from a record 13 finals appearances. The Netherlands beat host New Zealand 5-3 to take the bronze medal. Germany beat Britain 1-0 for fifth place and Pakistan beat South Korea 5-2 to finish seventh in the elite eight-team field.
