Second Qualifying Round
Makmedy, Belgium
Lois Fidler's U17 side suffered a second defeat inside 48 hours to end all hope of qualifying for the Finals of the UEFA European Women's U17 Championship.
An 18th-minute strike from Czech Republic's Lucie Vonkova sealed the victory and, coupled with a 1-0 loss to Spain on Monday England now know they will be unable to repeat their exploits from last year when they reached the latter stages of the Euros.
England now face Belgium in their final match on Friday looking to end this qualifying campaign on a high. Spain and Czech Republic will face each other on the same day, knowing the winner will join France in the Finals in June.
