Jon steers England to success

The Rotherham veteran helped England to beat Scotland and Wales 4-1 and 8-1 respectively on Saturday while he also managed to score against the Scots from a penalty corner.

He said: “That left us with a winner-takes-all games against Ireland on Sunday in what was a very hard fought battle, with Ireland doing everything they could to stop us playing the attractive and entertaining hockey we'd played on Saturday.

“After initially trailing 1-0 we dug deep and managed to equalise in the first half and then secured a 2-1 victory midway through the second half.”
