ODIHAM hockey star Alex Danson and her England teammates booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Word Cup after a 2-0 victory over Korea on Tuesday night.

Goals from Lily Owsley and Sophie Bray made sure England will now face the world number one side the Netherlands on tomorrow night at 8.15pm, in front of another sell out crowd of 10,000 at Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre.

The hosts took the lead after nine minutes when Bray pounced on a rebound and Owsley secured the win two minutes from time when she rolled into an empty net.

After the game goal scorer Owsley said: “We had belief that the next goal would come, we were creating chances and I didn’t feel we were going to concede and that the next goal was coming for us.

“I’m thrilled with the win. These tournaments are all about momentum and we are unbeaten and have back to back wins now going into the quarter-finals.

“I’m so excited, nobody is pretending we aren’t underdogs against the Netherlands but number one versus number two in the world in front of 10,000 people. Anything can happen.”

The quarter-final will be shown live on BT Sport and commentary on BBC Sport.
