Graham To Bring Home Medal After Penalty Win


Pic - Steve Guinan
The Bulls' Luke Graham, and the rest of the GB University squad, are guaranteed at least a silver medal after beating Russia on penalties in tonight's Semi-Final at the World University Games.

They will face France in Tuesday's final, with the game expected to be live on Eurosport, after going down to 10 men but holding on to win the tie 5-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.

The Russian side was made up of top drawer youth players and watched by ex-England coach Fabio Capello, currently head coach of the senior Russia side, as part of the 10,000 capacity crowd.

Graham was booked during the game, but is one of only two players to have played every minute of the competition for GB so far. 

Update: Competition stats say Russia had 22 shots on goal to GB's 4, with the Russians also having 62% of possession.
