KIDDERMINSTER volleyball star Rachel Bragg savoured Olympic success last night as Great Britain women bagged their first ever Games win over Algeria. Bragg played her part at Earls Court in front of an exhilarated home crowd. Janine Sandell and Lynne Beattie were both inspirational as the hosts won 22-25 25-19 23-25 25-19 15-8 as they overcame the African champions 3-2. Team GB had been trailing 2-1 but fought back to ensure they bounced back from Saturday's loss to Russia. Their next match in Pool A is on Wednesday against Italy.
