ENGLAND MEDAL HOPE DASHED BY BELGIANS

After England scored a surprise victory against the Netherlands on Wednesday, they faced Belgium this afternoon in the Under 21 Eight Nations tournament in Monchengladbach. Belgian Alexendre De Paeuw struck with a well taken field goal midway through the first half, but Peter Dobson equalised on the stroke of half time via a mis-hit shot by Richard Smith. The second half was only seconds old when Simon Gougnard put the Belgians back in front. The margin was increased when De Paeuw scored his second. With less than ten minutes to play Chris Pryce converted a penalty corner and the scored remained at 3-2 until the final whistle.

Unfortunately we have not been able to secure the results from other matches, so we do not have a playing schedule for the cross over matches tomorrow.
