Setford and Nygard out of the U19 Euros

The under-19 European Championships are over for Tommy Setford and Lucas Nygaard as England and Denmark failed to progress to the semi-finals.

After the Young Lions pulled off a stunning comeback to draw with Germany last time out, they faced Group B leaders Netherlands with Setford between the sticks.

The Dutch took a 3-0 lead into half-time and despite a quick response from England’s Ethan Wheatley, a comeback was not on the cards this time around. The final score of 4-2 would still been enough to see England progress had it not been for Germany’s stoppage time winner against Norway in the group’s other match.
