LONDON:
England’s chances of winning the London Cup ended with a 5-4 defeat by South Korea. Both sides had to win after first round losses to stand a chance of making it through to the final and it was the visitors who enjoyed a narrow victory. “It was definitely a much better performance than the first game,” said England coach Jason Lee. “The players can be proud of how they played. To be honest, I’m a little bit bemused as to how we didn’t win.” England’s final pool match is against New Zealand tomorrow.
