Hockey: Frustration for NZ men's team

The New Zealand men's hockey team had a frustrating 0-0 draw with the Netherlands at the weekend.

The Black Sticks controlled all but the first 10 minutes, and won nine penalty corners to the Netherlands' one, but could not convert any of their chances.

The New Zealand management said the team were disappointed not to have been awarded a penalty stroke when Phil Burrows was allegedly impeded from behind.

The match completes the team's tour of Europe. Earlier they shared a series with Belgium 1-1.
