ENGLAND DRAW SECOND MATCH by Peter Savage in Slagelse

Despite peppering the Russian goal than more shots than I could keep count of, England were unable to find the target.  Playing in their second match of the European Indoor Championships II, it was Katie Long who was again the star of the show, finding the net five minutes into the second half.  But Tatiana Voronina's goal canceled out the English goal and the match ended at 1-1.

The Russian's were much improved over the side that lost to Lithuania earlier today and, although England played well, they had lost some of the bite they had shown against the Slovaks this morning.  They will face their sternest test tomorrow when they play the very capable looking Lithuanian side.
