ENGLAND HEAD TABLE AFTER DAY ONE (WE THINK)

After the first day of play in Chanzhou City, England head Pool 'A' with three points and a goal difference of +4. Belgium and Pakistan are also on three points, with a goal difference of +3 and +1 respectively. Strangely, both the official tournament results web site and the England Hockey web site are showing Belgium as first in the pool, with England's goal difference as +3. We can assure readers that we have our results from a reliable source. England's scorers against Ireland were Richard Mantell (24th, 29th, 55th and 59th min) and Ben Hawes (49th min). Ireland's only response was from John Jermyn in the 25th minute. We think that is +4!
