Irish spring shock on England
Ireland defeated England 3-2 last night in the Four Nations Tournament.
Ex-Hereford striker Steve Guinan opened the scoring after five minutes with a simple tap-in.
But on eighteen minutes John Flood attacked Eamonn Zayed's cross and when the Hereford keeper Matt Baker only parried his diving header, Flood followed up to bundle the ball over the line for the leveller.
Early in the second period, an error from English centre back Matt Redmile allowed Darryl Murphy to send the ball through to Zayed who blasted low into the net form 12 yards to give the underdogs the lead on the hour mark.
Within two minutes the Irish increased their lead when John Russell volleyed into the roof of the net.
However England reduced the deficit when Steve Guinan turned Mark McChrystal and hit an unstoppable 25 yard effort low into the right hand corner of the net.
England and Wales meet tomorrow at Keith.
