ENGLAND SUFFER DEFEATS AT HOME AND AWAY by Pat Rowley

The England A side, having ended the Australian Institute of Sport’s run of success on their European tour with a 4-3 victory on Monday, lost the return match at Nottingham 5-1. Cannock’s Richard Lane who scored twice on Monday, did give England an early lead.


England’s Under 21 side were beaten 2-1 by Malaysia on the first day of an eight nation tournament at Monchengladbach. Adam Dixon converted a penalty for England after they had conceded two goals inside a quarter of an hour.
