England Under-21's claim first win at this year's Junior Women's World Cup

Manx hockey star, Sienna Dunn and the England Under-21's women's team have taken their first victory of this year's Junior Women's World Cup today (4 December).

The national side earned a 4-1 win over South Africa in what was their second match of Pool D at the tournament in Santiago, Chile.

Biba Mills starred in front of goal for England, netting twice, whilst Lottie Bingham and Freya Robinson were also on target.

South Africa grabbed a consolation goal in the fourth and final quarter through Ntsopa Mokoena.

As a result, England's victory could see them top their group by the end of play today depending on the scoreline between China and Austria later.

Dunn and England are due to return to action on Saturday (6 December) for their final Pool D contest against Austria which is scheduled to get underway on the day at 11.15am local time.
