England hammer Scotland to reach semi-finals

England have won two matches and lost one at the group stages of this year's EuroHockey championship

England's women reached the EuroHockey Championship semi-finals with a 5-0 victory over Scotland.

England, as likely runners-up in Pool B behind Germany, face the winners of Pool A - Belgium, Spain or the Netherlands - on Thursday.

"We did everything we set out to do and Scotland is always a tough battle with lots of emotion," said Howard.

"We went out and played really professionally so we're really happy."

In playing against Scotland, captain Hollie Pearne-Webb made her 250th appearance for England and Great Britain combined.

Scotland exit the competition with three defeats from three matches, conceding 14 goals and not scoring.
