Huge mistake from Canada -- dropped pull gives GB easy opportunity. After high stall Abrams able to punch it in to Bex Forth on a tight in-cut to give them two breaks and a 3-1 lead.

Canada gets the D and Collins IO floats to Yearwood but Dave Tyler closes the gap for the D. Huck from GB to Jenna Thomson goes too far. Canada back with the disc. Miscomunication turnover on easy dump-swing from Yearwood gives an easy opportunity for a score as Harris sends it long to Tyler for the goal and to hold serve. 2-1 GB still up a break.

wind seems to be affecting throws slightly, or nerves, but these points should not be that long.

Some tough snags but they get them and East Coasters Anne Mercier to Jeff Linquist for the goal 1-1

Neither team able to establish any rhythm as tight defense and foul calls are the norm. Now an impossible-to-tell in-or-out call on a toe line grab is being discussed at length is finally resolved (probably correctly)with Gordon in for the score. 1-0 break to GB

GB and Canada have now started. 0-0.
