NL Beats England 2-1

Netherlands defeated England 2-1 Monday night at the EuroHockey Championships in their second pool match. The Netherlands led with two goals from Jelle Galema and Billy Bakker at half-time.

But England's hard work was inadequate as the Netherlands finished the game in victory at 2-1. England will face Ireland on Wednesday.
