Plucky young English team against the tournament favourites. It was quite the occasion, cracking atmosphere at Lee Valley.

Sadly, the Dutchies prevailed but you have to give them credit, they can really play hockey. The Dutch women at the back didn't put a stick wrong all game and England never really looked like scorig, resorting to overheads and aimless long hits. Probably not too far off the senior men's football team at the WC really.

Still, enjoyable to watch and you have to appreciate the Dutch women, even if none of them are heterosexual.
