The England girls, playing in the European Junior Nations Championships, booked their place in the semis by beaing Wales today 2-1. Tash Brennan opened the scoring for England in the seventh minute, courtesy of a penalty stroke, after Charlotte Hartley was tripped in the 'D'. The Welsh were back on even terms shortly before the interval when Tina Evans converted a penalty corner. A penalty corner towards the end of the match by Susie Gilbert gave England the 2-1 victory.
There was no play in the England pool in the boys competition but England meet the host nation, the Czech Republic tomorrow. Nor was there any play in the Champions Trophy in Terrassa as today is a rest day. Play resumes tommorrow.
