ENGLAND OFF TO WINNING START IN UNDER 16 HOME NATIONS

Two penalty strokes by Peter Jackson gave England the edge on the first day of the u16 Home Nations Tournament in Cardiff today. Goals by Jackson from the penalty spot and a goal in open play by 14 year-old Nicholas Bandurak from the Cannock Club gave England a 3-2 victory over Wales.

England's girls made it four in their tournament, with a hat-trick of field goals by Jo Hunter, two of which were scored in the last two minutes. Alice Sharpe was the other scorer in this 4-1 victory over Ireland.
