ODIHAM hockey star Alex Danson's quest for another Olympic medal is still on track after she helped Great Britain beat Spain 3-1 in the quarter-finals.

This set-up a rematch of London 2012's bronze medal game against New Zealand on Wednesday night (9pm BST).

A first half blitz from GB against Spain booked their place in the semi finals, as early goals from Georgie Twigg, Helen Richardson-Walsh and Lily Owsley ensured a 3-0 lead before half time.

Although Spain came back into the contest and scored in the second half, but it was not enough to stop the Brits progressing to the last four of the competition along with New Zealand, Germany and the Netherlands. In their quarter-final against Spain, Great Britain came out of the blocks at a searing pace in the first quarter. Crista Cullen stung the palms of Maria Lopez in the Spain goal with an early penalty corner before Sophie Bray’s deflection flew just over the bar.

Bray terrorised the Redsticks defence, showing her full range of 3D skills, setting up chances and winning penalty corners almost at will.

With eight minutes on the clock, Danny Kerry’s side took the lead. A polished penalty corner move saw Giselle Ansley’s precise pass expertly diverted into the roof of the net by Georgie Twigg.

Just before the break, Great Britain made it 2-0. Bray once again was at the heart of the move, breaking free down the left before picking out Helen Richardson-Walsh for the simplest of finishes.

The Brits then made it 3-0 in the second quarter as they broke along the baseline, this time via Alex Danson who set up Owsley to slot home.

In the second half, Spain hit the post and then with seven minutes remaining the Spanish got themselves on the board thanks to a lovely individual goal from Georgina Oliva.

The medal games are on Friday at 4pm and 9pm, the bronze medal match being first.
