England completed their group matches today with a fifth consecutive win, beating Wales 16 - 6 on a very heavy, rain-soaked pitch.
Coach Collier commented, 'After a slow start, when Wales took a 3 - 1 lead in the first quarter, we stepped up to dominate the game and ran out comfortable 16 - 6 winners.'
'The muddy conditions made it impossible for us to play our natural free flowing game, however young attackmen Nick Watson coped best with these conditions and finished top point scorer with 2 goals and 4 assists.'
'We are now looking forward to the next group stage where we meet hosts Finland and Sweden. If we win both these games then we will reach the championship final.'
England faces off against Finland this afternoon at 3pm.
