DAY TWO SEES NEW LEADERS IN AMSTELVEEN

Wins by China and the Netherlands overturned yesterday's first day table in the Champions Trophy in Amstelveen. China scored three times for a reply of one in their game against Argentina. The Netherlands, who yesterday had been held to a 0-0 draw by Austalia, beat Germany 3-1, with goals by Maartje Paumen, Sylvia Karres and Elen Hoog. Australia, who were involved in their second goal-less encounter in two days, drew against New Zealand.

The Netherlands currently lead the table with four points, followed by Germany, China, and Argentina, all on three. New Zealand are currently trailing in sixth place, with their only point coming from the encounter against Australia
