Lauren Hemp and Hannah Cain goals give England victory over France in La Manga

Tuesday 06 Mar 2018
Esme Morgan captained England to victory over France

Two early goals gave England Women’s Under-19s victory over France in their final match of the La Manga Tournament.

Lauren Hemp opened the scoring on nine minutes with her second goal in five days and Hannah Cain added a quick-fire second just three minutes later.

It was Cain’s third goal in as many games, the Sheffield youngster having also netted against USA and Czech Republic. And although France pulled a goal back, the Young Lionesses held on for victory.
