The Australian women's water polo team, the Aussie Stingers, have made it two wins from as many games in their five match test series against Great Britain, defeating the 'old enemy' 14-4 in game two at the AIS in Canberra.

The girls bounced back from a slightly rusty opening in game one, to produce a much improved extra-man display in what was an encouraging sign for the future.

The Stingers got off to a quick start jumping out to a 4-1 lead in the opening term with two-time Olympian Melissa Rippon netting an early double, before Bronwen Knox and youngster Hannah Buckling helped consolidate that advantage with two of their own.

Great Britain was able to hold Australia to a 2-0 score line in the third quarter before the Stingers accelerated in the last period to seal the 10 goal win.

Young gun Buckling ended up with three for the match, as did Melissa Rippon, while captain Kate Gynther, Brownwen Knox, Gemma Beadsworth and Zoe Arancini all piped in with two.

For Buckling, her performance came at a good time with the 20-year-old impressing in her opening game of the week, after being the source of many extra-man opportunities throughout the contest.

"I thought the game was good tonight," Buckling said.

"We were a lot more patient with the ball and we made sure we took that extra pass which made it easier to find the back of the net.

"Personally, I just loved being able to get in the water and to score three goals was just a bonus.

"Overall, though, having been on the sideline in game one I did notice that we were calmer and we definitely played like more of a team."

Australia's next game against Great Britain will be played at the AIS in Canberra on Saturday beginning at 6.30pm.
