    Kate and Helen Richardson-Walsh are married. Not, as I thought, sisters. There can't be many married couples playing team sports for us in the past. At least, I can't think of any.

    Is this good goalkeeping or awful penalties? Weird that they have a time limit to score, rather than a run up and whack it like in football.

    Now the Dutch keeper fouls the British player during a penalty so we get a "penalty stroke" aka a run up and whack it.

    Three penalties each, one score to GB, none to the Netherlands.

    Four penalties each, 1-0 to GB still.

    If we score this one, we win GOLD.

    Maddie Hinch was impassable in that shootout!

    The Dutch will be devastated that they lost that final

    In 2012: 29 golds, 17 silvers, 19 bronze.

    In 2016: 24 golds, 21 silvers, 13 bronze.

    Still got a lot of opportunities to come. Can we get to 30 golds?

    Haha, thought our ladies team were going to get battered there. Maddie Hinch was fantastic and for me, not knowing that much about it, was instrumental in that gold.

    Strange watching a team from the British Isles actually winning a penalty shootout...

    Well done ladies, I am suspending base gross sexual innuendo for 24 hours in your honour.

    Nice cones...oh feck!

    Great game. Waiting for the "You shall not pass" Hinch memes to appear. The dutch bossed it but we took our chances.

    NB Ellen Hoog might be my new favourite olympian

    Read earlier it is actually England playing. There are no players from the other nations in the squad.

    Got to say,the Team GB tracksuit tops are wank. Look like something you'd get from Sports Direct
