ENGLAND OFF TO FINE START

Despite bad omens from the earlier matches in which other sides from the British Isles suffered defeats, England's women got off to a fine start in the EuroHockey Nations Championships in Amsterdam, beating Russia 4-0, with goals from Helen Richardson, Jo Ellis, Nicola White and Sally Walton.

Earlier in the day Spain overcame Scotland 3-1 and Ireland suffered a 7-0 defeat at the hands of Germany.
