England hockey women reach second-ever semi final
DUNMOW hockey star Chloe Rogers will be hoping for success as she takes to pitch today (Thursday) for England’s second ever World Cup semi-final.
The England hockey women have reached the penultimate round of the BDO FIH World Cup in Rosario, Argentina, and will be taking on a tough Netherlands side.
Despite a 2-0 defeat against the host nation in the last pool match on Monday, Rogers had already helped her team secure a birth in the final stages with a 2-1 win over South Africa on Saturday.
England had already won vital games against Spain and China before playing out a bruising draw with South Korea last Friday.
20 years ago in Sydney, Australia, England reached their only previous World Cup semi final against the Netherlands.
