Britain took the lead in the 11th minute when Brogdon got a touch to a reverse shot from Dan Fox into the right corner of the Indian goal. Britain’s second goal game in the 27th minute after he quick clearance saw Nick Catlin send a long ball down the middle that Griffiths deflected into the goal with the Indian defence just not in the frame.
Jackson and Dixon scored two quick goals and captain Middleton capitalised on a cross from Ward two minutes later to make it 5-0.
