u20 Tri-Nations Cup kicks off in England

The Women’s u20 Tri-Nations Cup will be hosted by England at Loughborough University beginning on Saturday when the defending champions take on the USA. Three matches will be played over eight days with Canada also contesting the round-robin competition that took place in Nova Scotia last year.

A number of participants from last year’s competition have since graduated to senior honors. Among them are Canada’s Sophie de Goede, England’s Zoe Harrison, and the USA’s Eti Haungatau. de Goede returns as a headliner in this year’s competition, with other returning stars including England midfielder Phoebe Murray and USA twin props Tiara and Tiana A’au.

At this time no live stream is planned but scoring updates will be available on Twitter.
