Our apologies for these late reports. We lost our Internet
connection for most of today (Monday) and only got back online this evening.
There has been a lot of action over the last two days, including
the Women’s Junior World Cup in Monchengladbach.
After a disappointing start for the Under 21 Women in Monchengladbach,
England got back into their stride yesterday with a stunning 8-1 win over
Belgium. The result hauls them off the
bottom of the table into third, ahead of Belgium. England’s scorers were Olivia Chilton (2),
Emily Defroand (2), Shona McCallin, Josie Inverdale, Hannah Martin, Grace
Balsdon, and Stephanie Addison.
In Pool D, England’s pool, Germany could only draw 2-2
against Spain. Germany currently lead the pool on goal difference. England play Germany tomorrow in their final
pool match. Today is a rest day.
As on Saturday, there were some high scoring matches in
Monchengladbach yesterday. For the
second day running Ghana fell victim, with a 9-0 defeat at the hands of Korea
in Pool A. Russia improved on Saturdays
10-0 drubbing at the hands of New Zealand, losing 6-0 to Australia.
England’s boys played in the bronze medal match in the
European Under 18 Championships in Vienna yesterday and lost 3-2 to The
Netherlands. England’s scorers were Tom
Poustie and James Albery. Spain won the
