EGERTON SCORES FOR ENGLAND ON SECOND OUTING

Bowdon's Simon Egerton, playing in only his second full England match, put England ahead in their second test match against Germany in Nuremburg is afternoon.

Egerton's goal was the third in an England fight back which had seen them 2-0 behind with 20 minutes left to play. Two penalty corner conversions by Matt Daly in the space of three minutes put the sides of equal terms, and then a goal in open play by Egerton briefly put England into the lead. Unfortunately, England were deprived of a notable victory when Oliver Korn equalised for Germany in the closing minutes. Final score 3-3.

England team: Richard Alexander, Rob Moore, Matt Daly, James Tindall (Surbiton), Jonty Clarke, Richard Mantell, Richard Springham, Ian Mackay (Reading), Adam Dixon, Alistair Wilson, Martin Jones (Beeston), Simon Egerton (Bowdon), James Fair (Cannock), Simon Mantell (HGC, The Netherlands), Richard Smith (Loughborough Students), and Dan Fox (Hampstead and Westminster).

Did not play: Glenn Kirkham (East Grinstead) and Barry Middleton (HGC)
