SEMI FINAL PLACES FOR BOYS AND GIRLS IN EURO CUP

England's girls (under 18s) have topped Pool A after their third match in the EuroHockey Youth Nations Championships in Nivelles. England beat Belgium 1-0 on Tuesday evening and followed this up with a 3-1 over Ireland last night (Wednesday). They will now face the Netherlands, who finished second in Pool B, in the semi-finals on Friday.

England's good run in the boy's side of this tournament run came to an abrupt end when they faced Germany yesterday, the match finishing 3-2 in favour of the Germans. However, their second place finish in the pool sets them up for a medal place. They play Belgium in the semi finals on Friday.

We hope to bring you details of the scorers later today.
