A week before England go into battle in the European Cup at Manchester, England’s youngsters picked up a second win in the Eight Nations Under 21 tournament at Monchengladbach with a comfortable 5-2 victory over Poland. Majchrzak surprised England by snatching an early goal for Poland but England took control with three corner goals. Beeston’s Adam Dixon scored his fourth goal of the event for the equaliser and then captain Chris Pryce (Canterbury) weighed in with a brace. England’s youngest player, 16-year-old David Condon of the Loughborough Sharks scored the goal of the game after a pitch long counter-attack to put England 4-1 ahead. Kozlowski added Poland’s second but England remained on top with James Osborn (Loughborough Students) adding their fifth.
England now have to beat hosts Germany tomorrow (Sunday) to claim fifth place.
