Sheffield Steelers' captain leads GB to 10-goal slaughter of China

The Sheffield Steelers' captain, recently awarded the same leadership duties for his country, scored in his first match as GB captain, on Thursday night.

It was a result that will stick in his mind, too.

Great Britain trounced China 10-1 at the Vindico Arena in Cardiff, to start off their Olympic Qualifying campaign with a bang.

Steelers' team mates Cole Shudra and Brandon Whistle won't forget the night either - they made their debuts for their country.

And former Sheffield great Liam Kirk was on target twice in the rout, with Swinton's Ben Bowns narrowly denied a shut out.

Goals summary: Kirk 2, Cam Critchlow 2, Mark Richardson, Curran, Cade Neilson, Dowd, Ben Davies, Nathanael Halbert.

GB return to action on Saturday against Serbia (7pm).
