WALES SECURE BRONZE IN WREXHAM

Wales have taken the bronze in the EuroHockey Nations Trophy in Wrexham, beating the Czech Republic 5-2. We are waiting for confirmation of the Welsh scorers but we believe they were Rick Gay(2), Rhys Joyce, Lewis Prosser and Ben Edge.

Scotland managed to rescue something from this tournament by beating Belarus 2-1 this afternoon in the relegation pool. They defeated Italy 5-3 yesterday and now finish the competition in fifth place.

The final between Ireland and Russia is currently being played and is the only result outstanding. Italy and Switzerland are relegated to the Challenge l in 2011.
