In their third match at the European Youth Championships in Latvia, England Juniors went down to a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Holland. The Dutch hosted the finals of this tournament in 2009 with their own team performing well, so they were always going to be tough opponents for England.

The 'oranje' who famously won the 1996 Men's Olympic title beat England 28-26 in an epic first set which seemed to drain England who were beaten 25-14 in the second before recovering to 25-19 in the third.

England return to the court against Germany on Saturday the 8th. at 6pm GMT.
