ODIHAM hockey ace Alex Danson helped England to a bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games.

The forward was amongst the scorers as England won their medal match with India 6-0 on Saturday.

Two days earlier, Danson and her England team mates suffered the heartache of losing a penalty shoot-out to New Zealand in the semi-finals.

This was after the game ended 0-0 so went straight to penalties.

Danson was one of the five shooters and failed to hit the target, as the Black Sticks won 2-1 and then went onto win the gold medal.
