ENGLAND WIN BATTLE OF BRITAIN

Posted on: Fri 05 Jun 2009

ENGLAND Under-19's beat Scotland 2-1 at Bramall Lane, Sheffield to top qualifying Group 6 and progress to the UEFA Under-19 European Championships in Ukraine in July.

Goals from Nile Ranger of Newcastle United, his fourth in three games and Crystal Palace's Victor Moses gave England victory despite Alex McDonald's late consolation goal from the penalty spot.

The Young Lions started qualification off with a 2-0 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina and followed that up two days later with a 4-1 victory over Slovakia at Valley Parade, Bradford.

City goalkeeper Declan Rudd has been an unused substitute in all three games, having earnt his first call-up for the Under-19 national side last week. The 18-year-old was one of five changes made to the squad due to injuries or club commitments.

Brian Eastick's team now prepare for the finals of the tournament to be held in Ukraine, starting on July 21. They will be joined by the hosts and fellow group winners Serbia, Turkey, France and Spain. Groups 2 and 4 are yet to commence their qualifiers.
