England's U18 boys managed to recover from their 3-1 defeat at the hands of Scotland to put six passed the Russians this afternoon in the European Youth Championships. Ed Kelleher opened the scoring in the eighth but Igor Sinyagin was quick to reply for the Russians. The first of two goals by David Condon took England into the break with a one goal advantage, with second half goals from Rohit Kapoor, Nick Catlin and Phil Messant adding to the tally. Russia's Pavel Golubev pulled one back from a penalty corner goal. Final score 6-2 to England.
England's victory puts them into second place, one point behind Belgium. Tomorrow England play Belgium in what could be the decider in Pool B. The leader in Pool A is Germany on maximum points.
