Argentina 1-0 after pen stroke by Barrionuevo - fluke lead up with O’Hanlons glove landing on ball. 25 mins gone

Argentina 1-0 up on NZ at halftime in world cup hockey eliminator. Not much in it but a hint Argentina were starting to shade it in last few mins. NZ unlucky on penalty stroke. Keeper O'Hanlon lost glove which fell on the ball. Weird one.

Argentina still 1-0 at end of third quarter. They had the better of the third period too, NZ up against it. Need to be smarter keeping possession. Gifting ball away too often.

Uh oh. Argentina 2-0. Clever move from penalty corner and star attacker Delphina Merino scored from close range. Tough now for NZ.

No complaints from NZ after 2-0 loss to Argentina rubs them out of World Cup. Will rue loss to Japan in 2nd pool game. That cost them direct route to quarter-finals. Time for reflection. Likely to drop a spot on rankings too.

NZ rowers chasing three medals, possibly golds too, to put some polish on a so-far disappointing world champs on solid note in Plovdiv tonight.

Three has become two chances for medals for NZ. Robbie Manson 5th in single sculls final, same placing as last year. Never in it. Had been fancied after winning the two world cup regattas. 6:46.110, well back on winner Kjetil Borch of Norway, 6:38.310.

A second medal for NZ, with Chris Harris and John Storey taking bronze in the double scull, behind France and Switzerland. Thrilling late charge to get third in last 250m.

And a third medal to wrap it up for NZ. Olivia Loe and Brooke Donoghue take silver in the double scull, behind Lithuania. Strong display through 2nd 1000. That gives NZ a total of 3 medals at worlds, their poorest return since 2003. Tough thinking ahead.
