Rest Day Round-up From Boom




The timetable for the men’s Champions Challenge in Boom has thrown up some intriguing meets for the last games in the round-robin section of this tournament. Third placed India meet bottom of the table Japan tomorrow (Saturday) and a good win for India could see them move ahead of Argentina, who play the leaders, New Zealand. The most important game for England supporters is their match against Belgium, a team which one local newspaper described as “Docteur Jekyll ou Mister Hyde”. An England win could move them into fourth or even third place, which would give them a crack at the bronze on Sunday. Our photographs show action from yesterday’s match between England and Japan.

England play in the last of tomorrow’s matches. Peter Colwill will be reporting from Boom with all the day’s action.
