England V’s USA Semi- Final
England U19 team took on the USA in the first semi final knowing they would have to raise their game to compete with the tournament favourites.
The first quarter England attacked well holding the ball and moving it around. Unfortunately unforced errors cost them dearly. Whilst possession was contested England needed to use the ball they got effectively. Unforced errors continued to hurt England as USA capitalised on transition play. The game ran away from England but as in all the games they contested the game to the end.
The 25 - 5 defeat reflected a game which could have been better if England had utilised the possession they gained to better effect
This will be the motto for the bronze medal game on Saturday against the Iroquois - face off 11.00 local time ( 7.00pm GMT)
