There was no play in the EuroHockey Nations Trophy in Wrexham today. However, it has emerged that Scotland lodged a protest after their 2-2 draw against the Czech Republic on Tuesday, a result which dumped Scotland into the relegation pool.
Niall Stott had appeared to score a goal during the match but the goal was not allowed by the umpires. However, it later emerged that a video of the match showed the ball entering the goal but passing out through a hole in the netting. An official protest was lodged with the Tournament Director by Alan Bryce, the Scotland manager, but the protest was turned down on the basis that the umpires' decision cannot be changed.
IN THE WOMEN'S JUNIOR WORLD CUP IN BOSTON (USA) England were not scheduled to play today. Their next match is against Chile on Thursday. After two matches only Germany (Pool B) and India (Pool D) are on maximum points. China leads Pool C separated by goal difference from New Zealand.
