Ashley Jackson's dream of an Olympic medal in Rio has come to an end.

The Chatham-born former Sutton Valence pupil was part of the Great Britain squad that failed to make it through to the quarter-finals.

GB could only draw 1-1 with Spain in their final Pool A match, needing to better New Zealand's result against Belgium to advance - although as it transpired, New Zealand won 3-1 to advance anyway.

Holcombe's Barry Middleton said: “It either wasn’t falling for us completely, or we didn’t have that bit of luck we needed.

“We’ve definitely improved since the Belgium game. If you look at the tournament after that we’ve played how we wanted to play, but that first game put us under pressure to get results.

“We got a bit panicky in the game against New Zealand because of the result against Belgium and we lost our brains a little.”

GB women defeated USA 2-1 to finish top Pool B with five wins from five games on Saturday night. They face Spain in the quarter-finals on Monday.
