GOLD! England’s Junior Women have been crowned champions at the EU Nations Cup after a sensational 16-9 (2-4, 6-2, 4-1, 4-2) victory against Czechia in Sunday’s gold medal game.
After falling 1-4 behind in the first quarter, England stunned the hosts with a powerful 6-0 surge and led 8-6 at half-time.
It was a magnificent team performance as Nick Hume’s squad extended their lead in the third and closed the game out superbly in the fourth.
Amelie Perkins was unplayable at times in attack, top scoring with seven goals, while Elsie Graves (2), Jaspreet Gill (1), Hariett Bates (1), Josephine Lamont-Tuskett (1) India Knights-Hume (1), Lily Ross (1), Alice Berrill (1) and Ruby Taylor (1) were also on target.
Congratulations to all the players and coaches, and huge thanks for all the great support at home and in the stands.
