Katie Henry scored twice to help Great Britain's women beat Spain 3-0 in their 2026 Winter Olympic qualifying campaign.

Great Britain, who had beaten Latvia in their opening game, took the lead when Henry converted a cross from Katherine Gale after 10 minutes.

Henry cut inside from the left and powered in a shot for her second after 54 minutes before Jodie Alderson-Smith shot into an empty net to complete the victory in Sheffield.

Great Britain will face the Netherlands, who have also won both of their games, in their final game on Sunday.

The winners of their four-team group will progress to the final stage of qualifying in February 2025.

Great Britain's women's are looking to qualify for the Winter Games for the first time, with the 2026 edition being hosted in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo in Italy.
