Kookaburras 2010 World Cup Win

15/03/2010
Jo Prothero

The match was the third consecutive World Cup final between Australia and Germany, with Germany winning the two previous encounters.

The victory is Australia's second ever World Cup title and puts the Kookaburras back as the world's number 1 ranked team.

It also goes some way in enhancing coach Ric Charlesworth's status as one of Australia's greatest coaches.   Since taking over the Kookaburra's at the beginning of 2009 the team has won the two biggest international events on the hockey calendar, first the 2009 Champions Trophy and now the 2010 World Cup.

Charlesworth, who was a player during Australia's previous World Cup victory in 1986, now becomes the second person to ever win the World Cup as player and coach.
