Due to rain the Copa de las Naciones at Palermo was delayed and commenced a week later than scheduled with England playing Argentina on Saturday 23rd. April and Chile on the Sunday. England started well in both games but ended up losing to Argentina 11 -9 and Chile 9 – 10.

Prior to the International game on 23rd April, a young line-up of Luke Wiles, Ned Hine, Will Harper and Jimbo Fewster (substituted in for Milly Hine who could not play due to a back injury) represented England in Palermo. Played as a round robin our young team did well to hold Argentina to 5 – 2 and had their chances against ROW, but lost by one goal, 5 – 6. Argentina were once again the winners although the performance of the England team was much improved on last year.
